DAREBIN VOTES ON PALESTINE, ISRAEL AT WAR
■ MANY Darebin ratepayers would expect that their local Councillors would be focusing on delivering road and rubbish services to Northcote, Thornbury, Preston and Reservoir. Eight of the nine Darebin Councillors (the exception was Cr Susan Rennie who abstained from a vote) thought differently at the latest Council meeting. Councillors considered motions about: ■ beginning a phase out of fossil fuels and ‘ensure a global just transition for all’, ■ a Refugee hunger strike, and ■ hostilities between Palestine and Israel. Based on a motion put by Cr Gaetano Greco and Cr Susanne Newton, the Council said it: ■ Views with great concern the latest outbreak of hostilities between Israel and Palestine, and the horrific loss of life and destruction of vital infrastructure, especially in Gaza. ■ Condemns the threatened evictions of Palestinian families from East Jerusalem’s Sheikh Jarrah and the violence against worshippers at the Al-Aqsa mosque during Ramadan ■ Notes Darebin’s Towards Equality Framework policy “recognises the current climate change and social justice challenges that we encounter both locally and globally. ■ Notes that Darebin is home to and welcomes people from diverse backgrounds and therefore reaches out to support Palestinian and Israeli members of the Darebin community whose relatives and friends have been affected by the recent violence. ■ Stands in solidarity with the Palestinian and Israeli communities in Darebin in condemning the recent violence and with the Palestinian community who are calling for their basic human rights in the Occupied Territories to be respected in accordance with international law. ■ Authorises the Mayor to write to the Prime Minister, Scott Morrison; the Minister for Foreign Affairs, Marise Payne; Opposition Leader Anthony Albanese, Shadow Minister for Foreign Affairs, Penny Wong, and Leader of the Greens, Adam Bandt urging the Australian Parliament to work constructively and fairly towards observance of human rights generally, which is fundamental to the achieving of a just and lasting peace in Israel-Palestine.
