Is political unity on foreign policy 'dead'?

Opposition leader Peter Dutton refused to support the Prime Minister Anthony Albanese's motion commemorating the Hamas terror attacks on October 7 - which killed 1200 Israelis. Peter Dutton took issue with the motion also recognising the suffering from the ensuing war in Gaza -which has killed approximately 42,000 - and the recent bombardment of Southern Lebanon, accusing the prime minister of "speaking from both sides of his mouth." And while there's long been political division on the matter, did this represent a complete rupture in bipartisanship on the issue?
