I thank the member for his question. It is a fact that there have been no weapons or ammunition exported to Israel in the last five years. That information was confirmed in Senate estimates. Just this week, Defence officials confirmed that recent data published by DFAT referring to the export of arms to Israel in February refers to the export of a single item for the Australian Defence Force that will return to Australia once it's fixed, disproving the misinformation being peddled by you. At that time, it is a fact that defence export permits that were issued to Israel over the last five years were for items other than weapons and ammunition, such as components of ADF equipment which was being repaired.

Of course, the export permits should not be confused with weapons sales, but I suspect the member knows this.
