I thank Senator Forshaw for his supplementary question. I can say to Senator Forshaw that there certainly are real doubts about the accuracy of the election results in Iran. This has been reflected in the opposition candidates’ call for a full rerun of the election and also, I think, in the demonstrations by ordinary Iranians day after day in Tehran and in centres around the country. Like our other colleagues in the international community, such as UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon, US President Obama and colleagues from the European Union, the Australian government wants to see an election result that reflects the will of the people.
