Penny Wong is "deeply concerned" by the "humanitarian crisis" in Gaza. She also doesn't want to see "Palestinian jobs and livelihoods affected" by sanctions against Israeli invaders in the West Bank. The gaslighting rhetoric from Wong is utterly shameful. 😔 #auspol #EndTheOccupation #FreePalestine

Is this a global phenomenon? Maybe but equally other countries have legalised AD in same time period. Even in US states continue to legalise e.g. cannabis, ditto Germany, omething that feels a long way off here in UK.
So there does appear to be something particular to Britain.
