Dear Minister Wong,
I write to draw your attention to the parliamentary petition EN9283 that has collected more than 18500 signatures. The petition ask the Australian Government to end its recognition of the Islamic Republic regime as the representative state of the Iranian nation, to help end atrocities against Iranians, and to support Iran’s transition to democracy.
On 12 January 2026, you said in a press conference, and repeated it in your statement on 28 February 2026, referencing the massacre in Iran: “A regime that relies on the repression and murder of its own people to retain power is without legitimacy.”
The petitioners main ask is perfectly aligned with your words. We simply ask that as the Minister in charge of the Department of Foreign Affairs, you instruct the Department to act on your rightful position.
Yours faithfully,
