It really amazes me in this place that you raise an issue to do with other countries around the world when we actually have 105,000 homeless people in Australia and we have drought affected farmers. We will not be supporting this motion. Since September of 2017, the Australian government has contributed $70 million to that effect, and I believe we should start cleaning up our own backyard first.
Question agreed to.
