I have a further supplementary question, Mr President. Firstly, how does the government explain the complete inconsistency of on the one hand saying that President Assad should go to the international court because of his criminal behaviour and, on the other hand, allowing his representatives to remain free and entertained in this city of Canberra? Secondly, what is to stop the Australian government from directly calling on the International Court of Justice to bring President Assad to book?
