Penny Wong (SA, Australian Labor Party, Minister for Foreign Affairs) | Hansard source

I think the Prime Minister has demonstrated his leadership these last weeks, unlike Mr Dutton, who I see has failed to do so. The second point I would make is that we have, against your opposition, shifted Australia's position when it comes to the recognition of Palestine. We have said—unlike those opposite, who say you have to wait for the end of a process when we know that that has meant no progress on peace—alongside the United Kingdom and others, that we are willing to look to recognition as part of a peace process that leads to a just and enduring peace in a two-state solution. That is a principled position that the Australian Labor Party has taken. I regret that it is met by an unprincipled position by those opposite.
