planning to move our embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem after officially recognising the latter as the capital of Israel

Note that your source says that they are not moving the embassy until after a peace deal is reached.

Scott Morrison said:

And we look forward to moving our embassy to West Jerusalem when practical, in support of, and after, final-status determination

So he is indeed already planning to move the embassy, and chose to make this decision public.

You offered this as an example of Australian government stupidity. My point is that their planned move is to take place after the issues that make moving it stupid will no longer be applicable.

Moving it before the status of Jerusalem is settled, like the US plans to, is stupid.

Saying you'll move it, but only after the city's status is settled by a two state peace deal, does not seem to be stupid.
