The problem
Last year, Senator Lidia Thorpe and I introduced the Genocide Red-Line Package — three Bills designed to make sure Australia never again turns a blind eye to genocide, war crimes, or crimes against humanity.
Right now, there is no law stopping Australian companies or government bodies from supplying weapons, funding illegal settlements, or profiting from human rights abuses overseas. That has to change.
The solution
These bills would:
- Stop military exports that could contribute to genocide
- Ban investments in companies operating in illegal Israeli settlements
- Appoint an independent Anti-Genocide Commissioner to hold weapons manufacturers to account
If Labor truly believes in human rights, they must back this package. We need laws that draw a clear red line.
Australia has a legal and moral duty to prevent genocide. These Bills honour that duty. But without public pressure, they won’t pass.
Take action
Sign up below to call on the Labor Government to back the Genocide Red-Line Package, and put an end to Australia’s complicity.
Together, we can make it clear: Never again means never again.
