Well, there you have it. We have sought to amend this motion to be something that we were able to support. Unfortunately, that leave has not been granted. Because of this, we will be abstaining on this motion. I reiterate the deep respect that I and the Australian Greens have for those in the Iranian prisons who are putting their lives on the line for change in Iran. We are in solidarity with these brave protesters and will continue to work with the movement here in Australia and to call out the human rights abuses being perpetrated by the Iranian regime.
