Anthony Albanese has been beaten because he seems to give more to Australians who committed crimes abroad instead of mourning families of those who died in tragic conditions abroad.
The Prime Minister, together with Foreign Minister Penny Wong and government agencies, is accused of spending more time on the cases of the Bali Nine convicted drug smugglers and other criminals such as Julian Assange than helping other matters.
Greg Jenkins, whose mother Anna was robbed and killed in Malaysia in 2017, said that his family and others like her, is one of those who called for more support from the federal government.
'Where is the support of Mr Albanese and the support of Senator Wong about all this? Families like ours should not go through this alone, “he said.
The family of David Fisk, who was reportedly killed together with his partner Lucita Cortez and her daughter-in-law, Mary-Jane Cortez, in the Philippines in July 2024, is also unhappy with what they see as a lack of help from the Foreign Affairs department and trade (DFAT).
The Jenkins and Fisk families said that the recent repatriation of the remaining Bali Nine members 'was a shameful double standard' because of the diplomatic campaign 'to do everything possible to help people who had broken the law'.
“The government speaks about supporting families, but it's hard to see how they really are doing,” Mr. Fisk's daughter told the Australian.
“We had asked DFAT to represent ourselves at the airport in Sydney when Papa's body was brought back home, but they didn't come.

“It was so stressful, we were afraid that they would send the wrong body or something, and we just wanted to help someone there.”
Mrs. Fisk said that when she and her family with the Australian Federal Police (AFP) spoke about what was being done on the ground in the Philippines, they said they had other priorities and tried to catch pedophiles.
Although she has no problem with that, she would also like the AFP -Help the death of her father.
“His murder, the legal fights we continue to fight, and the neglect we have endured … are painful memories of the systemic failures we have experienced and are also experienced by other victims of crime abroad,” said Fisk.
A spokesperson for Senator Wong told Daily Mail Australia that the Australian government continues to express the concerns of both families with authorities in the Philippines and Malaysia.
'We acknowledge the deep need that both the Jenkins and Fisk families felt. The loss of a loved one abroad, followed by long -term legal processes, is extremely difficult, “they said.
“DFAT offers constant consular support to the families for every step, in accordance with the Consular Services Charter.”
Daily Mail Australia has also contacted Mr. Albanians for comment.

In 2024, the Prime Minister not only helped with the release of Wikileaks founder Julian Assange, but also asked for the transfer of the remaining members of the Bali Nine during a meeting with the new Indonesian President Prabowo Subianto at the APEC top in November.
Matthew Norman, Martin Stephens, Si Yi Chen, Scott Rush and Michael Czugaj returned to Australia weeks later after President Subianto agreed to have the prisoners return home to humanitarian grounds.
Mr Jenkins' desperate search for his missing mother led to his moving discovery of part of her skeleton -like remains in rubble on a Malaysian construction site.
It is assumed that Anna Jenkins, 65, was torn away from the streets during a trip to Penang in 2017.
Her family Adelaide claimed that when they raised the alarm, the police of Royal Malaysia did little to help, which led to her son's own epic bid to find her.
He spent more than $ 300,000 on 40 trips to Malaysia to crawl through rats and tsunami tunnels with rats on an 80,000 km trek that crosses the country in search of a trail of his mother.
Eventually, three years after she disappeared, a tip led him to the place where a construction worker had found some of her possessions, including a dental appointment and her Coccyx-Bot.
Mr Jenkins warned the local police when he waited for five weeks in pain for permission to travel to Malaysia during Covid Lockdown.
But it took another 10 days before he could convince the police to go to the site and check the employee's claims.
When he finally succeeded in Penang, he was convinced that the police had done everything to search the area, but nothing else had been found.
He got on to travel to the place in Kensington Garden, a newly built rich suburb, 10 minutes from Penang's Georgetown CBD, who withdraws on a jungle.
Within a few moments of coming, he saw his mother's shoe on the surface, even though the police insisted that the area had been thoroughly checked.
When he returned to the stage a few days later, he finally made his crucial breakthrough after years of searching.
“I asked the site guard of the construction site to just make a video of lifting the rocks and searching,” Mr. Jenkins told Daily Mail Australia in 2023.
“It was weird. At that moment the whole place simply filled with these dark blue and black butterflies. It was just flooded with these butterflies.
“I sat down, but didn't think much about it, except that it was weird – and then I just looked down and saw Mama's vertebrae.”
A thorough search eventually revealed dozens of other bones and bone fragments that are just below the ground surface.
Anna Jenkins, born in Malaysia, married husband Raaf Serviceman Frank Jenkins and moved to Australia in 1970, through which son Greg and daughter Jen in Adelaide, South Australia, up
“The seriousness did not really find me for months,” Mr. Jenkins said.
'It was very much a mix of emotions … I am very good at compartmentalizing everything.
“But I know that it (his sister) destroyed Jen and Papa (Frank).”
Jenkins later discovered that the remains were originally discovered six months earlier by employees at $ 107 million housing.
But instead of going to the police, the employee who dropped him off, Mr. Jenkins said that they had been instructed to relocate the bones of the main location and dump them in the nearby debris where they were eventually rediscovered.
“I believe that my mother was thrown away from the street, robbed and murdered, and then her body dumped in what was jungle then,” said Mr. Jenkins.
'The remains of a man and a child were also found there earlier. I think it was just a landfill for murderers.
'But the new housing development was aimed at rich Chinese buyers – and traditionally they can't buy a house that has human remains on it.

'This development cost more than $ 100 million to build, but the selling price of the luxury villas meant it was worth more than a billion – so everyone stopped it all.
“They did not want a word leaking that dead bodies had been found there as taboo and could have killed Chinese buyers.
“So they brought my mother's bones aside to an area that would become a water feature in Parkland and would not be a country of residence.”
Now the Jenkins and Fisk families just want the Australian government to do so much for them as for Aussies who committed crimes abroad.
