Minster, following Russia's invasion of Ukraine, you prohibited the export of aluminium to Moscow, as it formed 'key components in the manufacture and development of weapons', yet, under the Albanese government, Australia continues to export millions of dollars of aluminium to the State of Israel, which recent reports by Israeli media made clear is being used in the manufacture of domestic weapons. Why haven't you publicly prohibited the export to the State of Israel of aluminium and other materials that can be used to make weapons, given there's a plausible case of genocide?
