 We know Australia exports military equipment to Israel, but the Albanese government is trying to gaslight you Time and time again senior ministers have made the claim the advice I have is what the government has already made clear that Australia has not supplied Westerns to Israel since the conflict began and for at least the past five years Not only is this untrue, but minister Wong's own department publishes information which shows that over the last five years Australia has provided nearly 10 million dollars in arms and ammunition to Israel, including as recently as October 2023 Even the head economist of minister Wong's department admitted I would say there's been no question or challenge to the credibility of any of the data that we published But this data only shows a fraction of the military equipment we send With government approval, Australian companies are also publicly celebrating their ties with the Israeli arms industry For example, there's the Tasmanian based Karawong engineering, which makes the engines for Israeli Thunderbee drones There is Bali Australia, which makes launcher and missile control elements for the appalling spike missile The spike missile is made by Israeli arms manufacturer Rafael and Bali is a critical part of their global supply chain There are over 50 companies in Australia making essential parts for every F-35 fighter jet There are more and more examples we could list Yet despite this, the government says Can I first reiterate what the government has made clear and I have made clear in this chamber on numerous occasions Australia has not supplied weapons to Israel since the conflict began and for at least the past five years What makes this even more frustrating is that minister Wong's colleagues have taken photo op after photo op at the very arms manufacturers that are making these weapons that apparently don't exist Here are three federal labor MPs all with big smiles gathered around one of these very drone engines at Karawong Here is Defence Minister Richard Marles at TAE Aerospace, just one of the many F-35 suppliers in Australia And here's Prime Minister Albanese at Bali, the company deeply involved in the production of spike missiles They have all seen the production lines for these weapons, yet they are still saying I'm advised that Australia has not supplied weapons to Israel since the Hamas-Israel conflict began And I'm advised that that is the case for at least the last five years There's a reason the Albanese government is trying to gaslight us all There's a reason that when you show them the evidence, they will still say it doesn't exist It's because they want to disempower the millions of Australians who want peace and stability, not war and conflict But we won't look away and we will not stay silent We know that a better Australia exists, one that rejects endless wars and instead fights for peace and justice in the world Free Palestine Enough is enough It's time for the Albanese Labor government to stop Australia's arms trade with the State of Israel It's time for the world to deliver a permanent and just ceasefire It's time to free Palestine
