[IsraelTimes] Australian opposition leader Peter Dutton says one of his first acts if elected premier in May will be to bolster ties with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s government.

In his first major foreign policy address, Dutton says calling Netanyahu will be among his first official acts, calling the current government’s stance toward Israel one of its "most egregious foreign policy failures."

It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return. The ruling turbans then wave the bloody shirt and holler loudly about oppression and disproportionate response...
Dutton also says he will make Washington his first overseas stop if elected, seemingly marking a pivot toward the US and away from Southeast Asia where Canberra has normally focused its foreign policy efforts.

Elections in Australia are scheduled for mid-May.
