About this episode
Foreign Minister Penny Wong says the government understands the "urgency" behind the global push to recognise a Palestinian state, with there being "a risk there will be no Palestine left to recognise" due to the conflict in the region.
Meanwhile, Home Affairs Minister Tony Burke says he's “in the business of stopping hatred from being imported to Australia," blocking dozens of visas from entering the country to "protect social cohesion". Are we watching an organised effort from Labor to gain permission to put Australia's foot on the accelerator in responding to the conflict?And Japanese shipbuilder Mitsubishi Heavy Industries will build the Australian navy’s new $10 billion fleet of warships. More money for defence - but is it a good deal?
Patricia Karvelas and Brett Worthington break it all down on Politics Now.
