An Immediate Ceasefire.

Parliament is the official place of government business. When there was an opportunity to vote for a ceasefire at the UN, Australia abstained on a Humanitarian Truce. Further, Tony Burke did NOT call for an immediate and sustained ceasefire from Parliament. On two occasions, he and the Labor Party voted down motions for a ceasefire.

Condemnation.

Tony Burke did NOT condemn, by name, the war crimes committed by Israel in Gaza. He did, however, condemn someone in Bankstown for using the word Jihad.

Arms Embargo.

Australia is giving millions to Israel’s Elbit Systems. Tony Burke has NOT called for an immediate halt on Australian defence goods being exported to Israel and Australian defence contacts with Israeli companies.

Women and Children.

When women’s underwear was weaponised on social media by Israeli soldiers, Tony Burke did NOT condemn them.

There is an alternative, and it is Independence.

This initiative is led primarily by The Muslim Vote (TMV) Australia. Multiple stakeholders, however, have joined the movement. So, while TMV is leading the way, the support of 30+ organisations, corporations and professionals have joined the movement to affect change. We are a grassroots community coming together to achieve genuine change for Australia. Multiple grassroots organisations have forged together after the 7th of October, 2023, with the urgency of the Australian government to act.

Tony Burke is the minister of one of the most multicultural communities in Australia. His areas are highly conservative, and if united, can impact the safe Labor seat of Watson. Historically, Tony has demonstrated that party politics overrides the voice of constituents. For example, Tony Burke supported same-sex marriage despite nearly 70 per cent of his western Sydney electorate rebuffing his stance. Tony Burke also rejected unconditional ceasefire motions in parliament in the Genocide against Palestinians.
