Mr Dutton says the Albanese government should pressure the court “to make sure that they reverse this terrible decision”.

The opposition leader says a coalition government could cut ties with the court if it failed to bow to pressure.

“I don’t rule it out,” he said on Wednesday.

“But I think the pressure at the moment needs to be for like-minded countries that share our values, to stand shoulder-to-shoulder … to make sure that this anti-Semitic stance that they’ve taken does not advance.”

Only a handful of state parties have withdrawn from the court and two of those countries rescinded their withdrawal before it came into effect.

Total fuckwit. You can criticise Labor for not being bold enough in international relations - but the LNP don’t give a shit about International relations, Morrison made that very clear to us and a Dutton government is a very scary prospect. Can’t believe that I actually believed David Littleproud when he said that the Coalition would be moving back to the “sensible center” after the election loss.

It was always obvious that that wouldn't happen. Logistically, how could it? All their more moderate members lost to even more moderate independents, or to the Greens. There's no "moderate" remaining in the parliamentary Liberal Party.
