Curious about Australia's stance here. A quick search showed conflicting facts.

This page from the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade states that Australia does not recognise a Palestinian state.

However this other article I found says there was a shift to recognise a Palestinian state in august.

Is the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade page just old and needs updating? Does Australia recognise a Palestinian state or not?

Are people openly talking about the genocide in Gaza or is it considered some taboo topic?

Do people get fired for saying genocide is wrong or the the people in Gaza have a right to live?

Are people getting dissapeared for expressing solidarity with Palestinians like they are in the USA?

Australia's move to recognise a Palestinian state

The process to recognize statehood is a long and drawn out affair that doesn't appear to final for Australia. The wiki page on statehood lists them as planning to recognize this month.
