When asked in June whether Australia would move the location of its embassy in Israel, the secretary of DFAT, Ms Adamson, said:

I don't think so … I would expect the Australian government in future to maintain the position that Jerusalem is a final status issue. Our embassy will remain in Tel Aviv.

Can the minister explain what has changed?
