7am · Why is Australia going soft on settler sanctions? · 16 Sep 2026 podcast

Tell me a bit about the Australian government's response. voice-verified

And Australia has said that targeted measures are a better way to approach this. voice-verified

We have already sanctioned individual settlers, organizations, and Israeli ministers. voice-verified

So what have those sanctions achieved? voice-verified

Still to come is politics behind Australia's softer stance. voice-verified

As you mentioned, until a few months ago, Australia was acting alongside Britain and France and Canada in these coordinated sanctions against violent settlers and and settlement linked entities. voice-verified

So what do you see that's changed here? voice-verified

How much of Australia's reluctance here do you think is being driven by domestic politics? voice-verified

Obviously, since the Bondi attack, Labour has been under enormous pressure of anti Semitism. voice-verified

We've just been through months of the Royal Commission. voice-verified

Do you think that's made the government more resistant to to taking any stronger action? voice-verified

How concerned are you by that lack of transparency? voice-verified

And there's another case where Australia has demanded action from Israel and hasn't got it. voice-verified

That's the case of Australian aid worker Zombie Francom, who was killed in an Israeli airstrike on a World Central Kitchen convoy that was in Gaza last year. voice-verified

Where has that case ended up? voice-verified

So if Israel continues expanding settlements and refuses Australia's demands for accountability over Semi Francom, what leverage do you think Australia is actually prepared to use? voice-verified

Do you see voice-verified

the Australian government being pushed into taking a stronger position? voice-verified

Chris, thank you so much for your time. voice-verified

Also in the news, Green Senator David Shoebridge says Labour has turned away from the minor party's offer of alternative solutions to Australia's migration program. voice-verified
