'Weak and paralysed': Albanese's response to ICC issuing warrants against Israeli leaders

The Australian's Editor-at-Large Paul Kelly discusses the “weak” response from the Albanese government to the ICC issuing warrants to Israeli leaders.
Prime Minister Anthony Albanese refused to comment on the International Criminal Court issuing warrants for Hamas leaders as well as the Israeli Prime Minister and Defence Minister.
“They’re weak and they’re paralysed,” Mr Kelly told Sky News host Sharri Markson.
“The government is spooked about how to manage the internal politics of this conflict within this country.
“We have the Prime Minister of Australia - can’t defend it and can’t criticise it.
“He just can’t talk about it - it’s as though he’s immobilised.”

Yes, Pauline Hanson said he's the weakest most gutless PM she has seen in her life, Julia Gillard had more backbone than Albo the Clown

We need Dutton.

[@rosshitchen-ij6en]

Best PM ever calling out these sht knts for what they are.

If Rudd and Gillard have to leave the country to find a job and be free of ridicule Albo is going to have to leave the planet.

[@poppykoch9085]

There is nothing strong about the man apart from his loyalty to the corrupt who are the power players. The moral issue here is that the leaders of the world are increasingly doing nothing for the good of their countries or citizens and they will not stop or condemn something that is blatantly wrong. We can all feel this world is getting more messed up because we have weak greedy vain leaders that are only looking out for themselves. They should be ashamed but that would suggest a moral compass which few have anymore. Philippians 2:3 - Do nothing from selfish ambition or conceit, but in humility count others more significant than yourselves. 1 Corinthians 15:33 - Do not be deceived: “Bad company ruins good morals.” Ecclesiastes - 12:13-14 - The end of the matter; all has been heard. Fear God and keep his commandments, for this is the whole duty of man. For God will bring every deed into judgement, with every secret thing, whether good or evil.

[@susanstevenson3591]

Thank you, Paul Kelly for standing up against the clearly biased ICC.

[@praxedestejada1870]

Just like our Prime Minister in Canada. He is becoming weak. Could not decide clearly who is he supporting for. He could not criticize the ICC for issuing a warrant to arrest the Prime Minister of Israel. A lot of Canadians are aware of his weakness in supporting Israel. Yes, the right term is bending one way and to other ways because of muslim votes. Weak and paralyzed.

[@aprilmanley5414]

This was because of the government being involved with Leonardo DiCaprio the Police the Hospital and The Queen.
