Excuse me? This is an example of the lack of ability to have a discussion with some courtesy about the Middle East. This is really an example. The fact that you are interjecting when I'm responding to you is another example of it. We have seen the sorts of vitriol on social media and the sorts of falsehoods that are stated, some of which this party repeats in this chamber. I would have hoped that a progressive party might actually prioritise social harmony in these times. You're entitled to your views in a democracy. I have seen some of what people have said, including those in this chamber, where they know it to be false. (Time expired)
