Australian has supported Palestine’s United Nations
membership. The non-binding resolution called upon the UN Council to reconsider
the issue after the US vetoed a similar resolution.
The assembly adopted a resolution with 143 votes in favour –
including Australia – and nine against – including the US and Israel – while 25
countries abstained. It does not give the Palestinians full UN membership, but
simply recognises them as qualified to join.
Our greatest friend and ally – United States of America -
must be very disappointed in Australia, we could have abstained, but Senator
Wong chose not to, something we will never forget or forgive.
