Agree

Yes

The Australian Labor Party (ALP) generally supports upholding international sanctions, including those imposed by the United Nations and key allies such as the United States. The ALP has historically backed measures to prevent the circumvention of sanctions, especially in cases involving national security or human rights concerns (e.g., support for sanctions against Russia after the invasion of Ukraine). However, the ALP also tends to consider humanitarian exceptions and the rights of individuals to support family members abroad. While the party would likely support restrictions on cross-border payments to sanctioned countries to comply with international obligations, it may be hesitant to endorse a total ban, especially if it impacts humanitarian remittances.

Disagree

No

The ALP is unlikely to strongly support a blanket refusal to ban such payments, as this could undermine Australia's commitment to international sanctions regimes and its relationships with allies. However, the party has shown concern for humanitarian issues and may advocate for exceptions or regulated channels for remittances to ensure that ordinary citizens are not unduly harmed. For example, during debates on sanctions legislation, Labor has often called for targeted measures rather than broad, punitive bans that could affect innocent civilians. Thus, while the ALP would not strongly agree with a total refusal to ban, it would likely seek a balanced approach.
