Penny Wong, Minister for Foreign Affairs of Australia, addresses the General Debate of the 79th Session of the General Assembly of the United Nations (New York, 24 - 30 September 2024).

World leaders gather to engage in the annual high-level General Debate under the theme, "Unity and diversity for advancing peace, sustainable development, and human dignity, everywhere and for all."

As an Australian I am embarrassed by Penny Wong`s speach and Australia`s position in regard to this conflict. The reality is Australia is no longer allowed to speak for its self. Australia must temper every thing it does and says to ensure it does not upset its big brother - the USA! Pathetic!

[DMTAlien]

So Russia invaded Ukraine. But she didn't mention who's responsible for Sudan Yemen Gaza and Lebanon? I wonder why and who

[wandabeachnsw]

What a huge disappointment Penny Wong is…. She speaks with a forked tongue! 🇦🇺

[Ligmajohnson]

Australia needs to pull away from American influence

[RealityPixel]

Oh penny. One way to break the cycle of conflict is to not abstain from voting for action at the United Nations, like we did in Australia. What kind of message does that send and does it align with your speech? Nope, not really.

[onlytimewilltell]

Penny Wong is Albonese Labour the current government and is providing financial military support to ukraine and Israel currently as her leader says they are in solidarity with Ukraine and Israel so her words of peace and negotiation are all but hollow words in being complicit in the current conflicts ths is Hypocrisy while the carnage continues

[DREAMSNADS]

We need actions!!! Enough condemnations!!! Stop this war!!! Innocents are suffering!!

[ronniexx]

Why is Linda Burney there, didn't she resign from Government?. Who are the other Australian's attending and who paid for them ??.

[janreid]

She has nothing helpful to say as she doesn't seem to understand all the facts.

[anthonyfx]

…and why no sanctions on Israel, not just settlers!

[sandra-cpxr]

such a disappointment for all Australians, this government continued to parrot colonial talking points, and we had such hope things were going to change.

[edwardkjeldgaard]

As an Australian I am embarrassed by her support for the nation attacking Israel and no support for the nation being attacked.
As the Bible says, in the last days right will be wrong, and wrong will be right.
Trust in our Lord Jesus, He is the Way, the Truth and the Life we should follow

[gehanjay]

Please recognise Palestinian statehood as does most of the world.🇵🇸🇳🇿🇵🇸🇳🇿🇵🇸

[budimargarito]

Very complete speaking so great clever lady

[thompjackson]

I am ashamed of this extremely disappointing foreign minister. A complicit tool at the disposal of the US and Israel.

[clintonweier]

What a disgusting embarrassment for Australia this speech was, no wonder Australia is going backwards at a fast rate with in and on the international stage

[diyguru]

It only took 2 minutes for the lies to kick in. I remember Penny from when she was a champion for human rights, so sad to see her now being a cheerleader for US imperial interests.

[samryan]

I'm Australian but this thing does not talk on my behalf

[whihwmu]

She is trying to set one group against another

[worldlove]

Australia, you have to help us Papuans to become independent, because you are part of us who have to support us to become independent, we are suffering a lot in Indonesia. we were tortured, we were killed by many Indonesian people. Please help us to be independent from Indonesia.
