I'm not aware of the details of the issue that you raise and I'm not going to just take on face value all aspects of it. The issue fundamentally that you raise is very serious. I think it is well understood that the coalition has a strong and proud track record of being a supporter of Israel, so I would reject any implication in that question that we are anything other than that. Beyond that, in order to deal with the question that Senator Wong has raised with the appropriate level of sensitivity and accuracy, I will take it on notice.
