MEDIA RELEASE

The Australian Government and the Future Fund are doubling down as DeepCut News reports that Australia’s sovereign wealth fund drastically increased its investments in arms, tech and banking companies contributing to the Gaza genocide in 2025.
Treasurer Jim Chalmers, Finance Minister Katy Gallagher and Future Fund chair Greg Combet are all implicated, as is the Prime Minister, who could make it clear that Australia will not profit from human suffering, but refuses to do so.
In a brief statement, a Future Fund spokesperson said: “Exclusions to the investment portfolio are reviewed on a regular basis and updated in line with recommendations from independent research providers.”
Why is the Albanese Government not using its power to compel Australia’s Future Fund to stop Australia profiting from serious violations of international law?
Why is the Albanese Government, on one hand, saying illegal Israeli settlements are an obstacle to peace, but then allowing Australia’s Future Fund to profit from their expansion?
A spokesperson for AMAN said, “Australians are being told that Australia is facing the risk of extreme politics based on racism, but what is more racist than profiteering from genocide and ethnic cleansing?”
“Israel is committing a genocide in Gaza, is violently expanding its settlement of occupied Palestinian land, and is now in Lebanon. Apparently, those lives do not matter to the Albanese Government.”
