A senior executive of the company that supplies the Israeli Defence Forces (IDF) with sniper rifles will address an Australian government-backed arms exhibition, in a further demonstration of Labor’s support for companies complicit in the mass killing of Palestinians in Gaza.
Ferdi Kluever, the general manager business development of Queensland arms firm NIOA Australia & New Zealand, will speak at the Land Forces 2024 arms exhibition in Melbourne in September on “Realising the Defence Industry Development Strategy for ADF Munitions”.
The expo “is organised and conducted by AMDA Foundation [an arms industry exhibition non-profit] with support from the Australian Army, the Australian Department of Defence and the Defence Science and Technology Group”.
