Doesn’t matter if the US calls do you think Albo is going to say no.

US aren’t that dumb.
They don’t want anything to do with this war knowing China are ready to go after Taiwan. Australia being involved also opens up vulnerabilities too.
Guardian Essential poll: more than half of Australians approve of Albanese government’s response to Israel-Gaza war
Of 1,139 people surveyed, younger voters more likely to say Australia’s response is too supportive of Israel
Whether I agree or not, the public's support of Albo and the government's stance on the current conflict suggests a strong majority (56%).
Dutton attempting to press the racism button and make political hay out of carefully considered and fairly uncontroversial actions and statements might backfire. Certainly if he sounds like a hysterical war monger or that he is desperately trying to overreach with regards to Labor.
Unless the gambit is win back certain blue ribbon seats off the Teals, having the Greens positioned on one side and the Libs on the other may work out with middle Australians over a certain age.

Both politicians cherry pick what victims are worth having empathy over.

One has the responsibility of governing for the entire nation and the other doesn't?
Albanese had some words against the continued Israeli aggression, even on a day of legitimate mourning. But the simple fact is, polling shows the majority of Australians don't want to pick a side, they want to stay out of it, sticking the boots into Israel may make some people feel good but it won't make a jot of difference to actual events and will make it harder for him to govern. Easier for Dutton because his base is always happy to bomb brown people, so he has little to lose picking a side.
He's not allowed to mention Palestinian victims without mentioning October 7th (same with news rooms). But when mentioning Israeli victims, you're not allowed to mention their terrorism and occupation. That's the double-standard Albanese (and most western media and Governments) is applying.

Well he is certainly on the back peddle now going back into parliament once he realised how big a story it was to apologise again…

God Dutton is a piece of sh*t.
Albo is definitely not perfect and there are things he does I don't agree with but you have rocks in your head if you think Dutton should be in power.
Dangerous times ahead.

And that’s a big problem in Australia. Well, in pretty much all Western countries except for maybe Ireland. Western propaganda successfully dehumanised Arabs and Muslims in the eyes of many white Westerners. That’s why you see such apathy towards Palestinians compared to, say, Ukrainians and Israeli people.
So much so that Albanese can get away with commemorating the number of Israeli lives lost without even mentioning Palestinians. That’s why Peter Dutton can be a full-blown Zionist and still be eligible to become a Prime Minister. That’s why Kamala Harris is the Democrat’s choice despite pretty much being a Zionist herself. That’s why Donald Trump can spew Zionist talking points and continue to fuel hatred towards Palestinians. That’s why companies can help fund Zionism and still operate with little impact on them.
If enough people actually cared, then the current oppressive Israeli government would fall. If enough people cared, then we could actually see a day come where Palestinians are treated as equals on the land they were born on. Just look at the fall of apartheid South Africa. It was driven by ordinary citizens of South African and non-South African countries. It was successful because enough people cared.
But you’re right, Australians (like most other Western countries) just don't care enough, and what a sad state of affairs that is.
