The federal government calling for a ceasefire in Gaza (2023-26)
People who support this policy believe that the Australian Government should call for an immediate and permanent ceasefire to end the humanitarian disaster in Gaza that began in October 2023, which is now the subject of an ongoing case in the International Court of Justice (ICJ), in which South Africa is accusing Israel of genocide.
View on They Vote For You →How each party's members voted
Each bar is 100% of a party's current members in the Senate whom They Vote For You places in one of its seven agreement groups for this policy (its own categories, shown as published). Bars show percentages of members, not vote totals; the number beside each bar is how many members that is. Members They Vote For You says haven't cast enough votes on the policy are counted separately, not in the bars.
