While we wait for the prime minister to respond, I can bring you what Greens leader Adam Bandt has said about Trump following his announcements he plans on ethnically cleansing the Gaza strip and have the US ‘own’ the sovereign territory (both illegal under international law, in case it needs stating).

Bandt:

“The Greens said, when Donald Trump was elected, that Donald Trump be a threat to peace and turning democracy and tragically this recent announcement that we’ve seen today in this further proof of this. This is wrong. This is the end of international law. This is Donald Trump talking about the takeover of another country, potentially by force. The Australian Government must make that it opposes a clear violation of international law. Whatever one thinks about the situation in the conflict in the Middle East, this is clearly wrong. Australia also unfortunately has a very poor record in the past of simply following the United States into conflict. The Australian Government must make it clear that it opposes this recent announcement from Donald Trump, and also that it will play no part in this matter.“
