Bit late now isn't it fuckers. Call my cynical but this reeks of a government desperately trying to curry favour with the electorate.

Absolutly agree. But just remember Dutton would probably drop a home made nuke on them himself.

Good. Israel has been playing the oct 7 hostage card way too long. At this point the aggression has shifted completely.

There have already been two ceasefires, Hamas broke both of them.

Hamas broke the first ceasefire on Oct 7 by sending over 6000 fighters into Israel.

So how will the ceasefire be enforced?

How will the UN ensure Hamas returns all the hostages?
