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Only a handful of state parties have withdrawn from the court and two of those countries rescinded their withdrawal before it came into effect.

I'm not sure Dutton wants to pull on this thread. Part of the social contract is that bad people are put away. Now like it or not, BOTH sides here have committed war crimes. You wanna let them get away with it? No worries! So we no longer care about stopping acts of evil and righting wrong?

Jesus you best hope I dont see you at a pedestrian crossing Dutton cause if theres no right or wrong it's up to my own personal sense of justice, isnt it?

If they had any guts, Labor would use this relentlessly to paint Dutton as "soft on crime".

That or it's all just a smokescreen to get out of the court so he can commit even more severe human rights violations against asylum seekers or something?
