Middle East conflict

Gabrielle DE VIETRI (Richmond) (12:15): I move, by leave:

That this house:

(1) notes that the state government will not be renewing its memorandum of understanding with the Israeli Ministry of Defense due to public pressure; and

(2) calls on Labor to end all partnerships that supply Israel with weapons responsible for the ongoing genocide in Palestine and the destruction of Lebanon.

Leave refused.

David SOUTHWICK (Caulfield) (12:16): I move, by leave:

That this house condemns the Allan Labor government for cowering to the Greens by cancelling Victoria’s memorandum of understanding with Israel, condemns the Greens for their antisemitic misinformation and calls on the Allan Labor government to reverse their decision and reopen this important trade opportunity for local Victorian businesses.

Leave refused.
