Penny Wong and Mark Dreyfus to attend Auschwitz commemoration
Foreign Minister Penny Wong discusses her attendance at the 80-year Auschwitz liberation commemoration after Senate President Sue Lines was taken off the delegation after a controversy arose regarding anti-Israel comments she made in 2022.
“My recollection of this is, I understood Mark Dreyfus was going to attend the commemoration; I indicted late last year that if I could attend as well, I would,” Ms Wong said.
“Can I say more broadly about why this is so important, particularly given that we’ve seen some of the antisemitism at home – it is a reminder of what occurred during World War Two, the hatred, prejudice, the dehumanisation and the murder.
“This is a part of history we shouldn’t forget.”
