Australian PM referred to ICC for complicity in genocide
Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has been referred to the International Criminal Court as an accessory of genocide to Gaza, announced this morning.
He's the first leader of a Western nation to be referred to the ICC over complicity in genocide. This could set a precedent for other leaders, such as Joe Biden and Rishi Sunak, to also be referred and potentially face trial.

The Albanese/Labor Gov will be remembered as the most craven leadership in Australian history.
By not calling for a ceasefire, or applying any pressure on Israel/USA to cease the genocide and illegal occupation of Palestine, it's made clear that Australia has lost its autonomy. We behave as if we are naught but a spineless satellite state for the US.
Albo doesn't care to be a leader of a sovereign nation. he'd rather be the gimp on the end of Biden's leash.
Activists hold a protest outside the BBC headquarters demanding freedom and justice for the Palestinian people, who are facing a genocide by Israeli occupation.
