Labor’s announcement that Australia will capitulate to terrorists and recognise a Palestinian state has dominated the headlines this week.

It’s a big deal in the media because the announcement represents a major departure from a longstanding bipartisan policy—the so-called ‘two-state solution’ to the everlasting conflict in the Middle East.

The Prime Minister no doubt feels that following Labor’s landslide election win and a weak Opposition led by an even weaker Sussan Ley, he has sufficient political capital to finally make the radical move Labor’s extremist left faction has been agitating for years.

Australian foreign policy is almost unrecognisable from what it was a generation ago: today Australia insults its traditional allies while it kneels to communist China and hands terrorists everything they want on a golden platter. Hamas—a prescribed terrorist group backed by a rogue theocratic terrorist state in Iran—has already praised the Albanese government for caving in to its demands.

One Nation has roundly condemned this abysmal foreign policy shift, pledging to withdraw Australia’s recognition of a Palestinian state and setting non-negotiable conditions for Australia’s agreement to the implementation of the ‘two-state solution.’ As Senator Hanson said, you don’t stop terrorists by giving them what they want; you stop them by always denying what they want.

In the meantime, it’s important we don’t let a conflict being fought 12,000 km away take our focus off local issues, and One Nation has again put the focus on poor governance in the Aboriginal industry this week, revealing that 1,258 Indigenous corporations had failed to comply with reporting requirements for the 2023-24 financial year.

These corporations aren’t even subject to the requirements of the Corporations Act 2001. They have their own law: the Corporations (Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander) Act 2006; the level of compliance required by this law is substantially lower than for non-Indigenous corporations, yet around one in three Indigenous groups can’t even meet these basic standards. The body charged with ensuring compliance, the Office of the Registrar of Indigenous Corporations (ORIC), is effectively toothless, while Minister for Indigenous Australians Malarndirri McCarthy seems more interested in enforcing welcomes to country than enforcing the law.
