My question without notice is to the Minister for Foreign Affairs, Minister Carr, regarding Ben Zygier, otherwise known as Prisoner X.

Minister, have you formerly requested from the Israeli government a full copy—not just the published extracts—of Judge Kedrai's report into the circumstances surrounding the alleged suicide of Ben Zygier? If so, when did you request that full report and information? Was it before or after your own department's full report on the issue, given you told the Senate estimates you would not be doing anything until you got that report? And further, have you received that report? If not, are you pursuing it?
