Former Australian Foreign Minister Penny Wong's speech at the National Security College’s conference opened a debate on Australia's foreign policy, specifically the potential recognition of Palestinian statehood.

Wong's speech drew criticism for not focusing on the Ukraine War, suggesting a possible decline in Australia's engagement with the conflict.

The Ukraine War, a critical threat to European peace and NATO stability, has seen diminished global attention and support, including from Australia.

Australia's reduced international assistance and refusal to supply military equipment to Ukraine indicate a reduced commitment to countering Russian aggression.

George Brandis calls for Australia to bolster its role in supporting Ukraine, coinciding with Anzac Day commemorations and the need to stand against aggressors.

An update on Australia's support for Ukraine is anticipated as the current lack of substantial aid from democratic nations underscores the necessity of a strong stance against international aggression.
