All 11 Greens senators have walked out of the Australian Senate during question time to protest the government’s refusal to call for a ceasefire in the Israel-Hamas conflict.

Senator Mehreen Faruqi accused the opposition Coalition of being “morally bankrupt” and labelled the governing Labor Party as “heartless, gutless, and powerless” in their language and approach to the war.
