What is Kate’s position on Palestine and Gaza?

Answer

Kate believes Australia must play a constructive role in supporting peace, protecting civilians, and upholding international law. She supports a two-state solution based on diplomatic negotiations, mutual security, and long-term stability in the region.

Kate condemns all acts of aggression against civilians—whoever the perpetrator—and supports increased humanitarian aid, a ceasefire, and the safe release of hostages.

She believes in:

  • A humanitarian approach that puts the protection of civilians first
  • Freedom of expression, including the right to ethical activism and peaceful protest, without government interference
  • Greater transparency in Australia’s arms trade, including stronger oversight, reporting and accountability
  • Diplomatic leadership, not escalation—working with allies to support meaningful negotiations
  • Community cohesion at home, encouraging respectful dialogue between Jewish, Palestinian, and broader communities

Kate will stand for policies that are grounded in human rights, international law, and Australia’s long-standing values of fairness, compassion, and peace.
