A House of Representatives petition has just been filed. Unlike other petitions, this one will be presented to the House and requires a response from a Minister.
Elbit Systems, the Israeli defence contractor responsible for much of the weaponry currently causing devastation in Gaza, has just been awarded a $917 million contract with the Australian government.
The demand of this petition is to remove all contracts and deals between Australia and Elbit Systems.
Again, this is more than a change.org petition - this is a government petition with a certainty of being tabled before the House of Representatives. This is just one step of many that this country needs to take in ending Australia's support for the genocide of Palestinians.
Please sign and share the petition here. And don't forget to confirm your signature via the email afterwards.
The deadline is April 17th - make sure to sign before then.

The US literally invented the playbook by invading Iraq 2 decades ago and keeping it under occupation for nearly a decade after that (and it still is under occupation really, what with US troops still strewn throughout the country)—and we still have people thinking that their every pro-Israeli move isn’t made with the very intention of killing Arabs, as they historically have in the past. Get serious.
