US Reps call for Australia SANCTIONS over “flagrant human rights violations” against protesters
American Republicans are calling for severe measures against Australia, even targeted sanctions, claiming they must be made to pay for such flagrant human rights violations” over rigid Covid restrictions.

Republican Congressman Kerry Bentivolio branded Australia’s actions “contemptible,” adding, “We should expect better from one of our closest allies.”
