My question is to the Attorney-General in his capacity representing the Minister for Foreign Affairs. I refer to the negotiated cessation of hostilities in the Syrian civil war that has opened space for a resumption of substantive peace talks, now scheduled to recommence on 9 March. My question is: what is the Australian government doing to support the cessation of hostilities in this conflict? Can the Attorney provide any details of diplomatic support, personnel, resources or anything that the minister cares to name that indicate that Australia is playing a role in de-escalating this conflict?
