The question of substance is this: why does the leader of the Labor Party object to even considering the possible relocation of our embassy to Jerusalem? Why will he not even consider the recognition of Jerusalem as the capital of Israel? Is he so tied up in the division of the ranks of those opposite, where one of their members says, quite openly, that Israel is a rogue state, but the member for Melbourne Ports claims that he would be very in favour of such a change. We're prepared to ask those questions. We're prepared to consider these questions. The leader of the Labor Party doesn't know what he thinks.
