💥 Australia Signs $917 Million Weapons Deal With Israel’s Elbit — Greens MP Max Chandler-Mather Slams Govt “Pretending It Has No Power”
September 4, 2025
Senator Max Chandler laid it bare in Parliament: Australia signed a $917 MILLION weapons contract with Elbit Systems, a blacklisted Israeli weapons company — the very tools used to burn Palestinian children alive.
And yet the government sits there, pretending it has no responsibility. Pretending it cannot act. Pretending it cannot stop the killing.
Every massacre in Gaza is enabled by this complicity. Every dollar flowing to Israeli weapons companies is blood on Australia’s hands.
SHAMEE!

English Script:
Max Chandler: What is the red line to for Labor when it comes to Israel’s genocide in Gaza? How many kids Israel have to burn alive before Labor literally take any action against Israel? What will it take to stop giving public money to Israeli weapons companies? What will it take to stop sending arms and ammunition to Israel? What’s most remarkable about the reactions in this House from members on either side is the remarkable lack of responsibility. Well take some responsibility. You are the government. You signed a $917 million weapons contract with Elbit Systems in February this year. The CEO of Elbit Systems, the black listed Israeli weapons company, has said recently we have seen increased interest in our weapons recently because if they’re in operational use in Gaza, as in killing Palestinians, and you sit here and pretend like you have no power. Well, let’s be real about this. Every time Israel massacres civilians, every time they burn children alive, they look around the world and they wait for the consequences. And none come from governments like Australia. And that’s why they know they can get away with it. As the member for Melbourne said, history will remember people in this place and what they did. They’ll ask, what did you do when there was a massacre and a genocide going on in Gaza? When mothers and fathers held lifeless bodies of their children in their hands, would starve to death because they had run out of energy to breathe as a result of Israel’s engineered famine. They’ll ask what did you do? What did you do in this place?
