The Moral Compass is Broken

When Opposition Leader Sussan Ley was asked about the deaths of Palestinian children in Gaza, she said Israel bears no responsibility whatsoever – that it’s entirely the fault of Hamas. Then, when a journalist tried to ask a follow-up question, she cut them off and said: “Can I just move on?”
That cold, careless response speaks volumes. It’s not just political indifference – it’s complicity.
Let’s be clear: this isn’t about diplomacy. It’s about basic humanity. And right now, too many politicians and media outlets are showing none.
They’re not operating in a vacuum. A small but powerful network of lobbyists, media owners, and foreign policy influencers decide which lives are worthy of outrage – and which ones can be quietly buried. That influence doesn’t reflect the values of most Australians. It reflects power.
If you’re more afraid of upsetting foreign interests than mourning dead children, then your moral compass isn’t broken – it’s been thrown away.
Some of us will not just “move on.”
