Part 4/10:
Commenting on the broader sentiment of Australians toward the Gaza conflict, the Prime Minister rejected the notion that Australian society underestimates how strongly its citizens feel. Instead, he affirmed that Australians do have strong opinions about global issues, including this conflict. However, he emphasized that most Australians prefer to see conflict where it exists to remain localized, expressing a desire that violence not be imported into Australia. The public largely supports efforts for peace and security, hoping for an end to violence, but not at the cost of global escalation or domestic unrest.
