Labor’s Stephen Lawrence MLC and Anthony D’Adam MLC, Labor’s Friends of Palestine, will be speaking about the role of Australia in the Middle East peace process at the Lennox Head Cultural Centre from 6.30pm tonight – Thursday, 14 August.
President of the Mullumbimby Brunswick Valley ALP Branch Chaiy Donati says that, ‘in an era where political caution often mutes moral clarity, these two Labor figures have consistently spoken out.
‘Lawrence and D’Adam have emerged as bold and consistent voices within the ALP – calling for justice for the Palestinian people, an end to occupation, and meaningful sanctions on Israel,’ he told The Echo.
‘As Labor moves to recognise a state of Palestine this September, this forum invites community members into the conversation. What does real solidarity look like? And how can Labor, at both state and federal levels, ensure recognition isn’t merely symbolic, but a step towards a just and lasting peace in the Middle East?
‘Join us for a powerful discussion on values, responsibility, and peace in the Middle East.’
For four decades The Echo has printed the stories some people loved, some people hated, and some pretended not to read. If you want us to keep telling the truth, the real truth, not the sugar-coated version. We’ll need your support to keep the presses rolling.
