We have consistently condemned Hamas. We have consistently called for the release of hostages. In fact, that question demonstrates the sort of misinformation that those who wish to bring the conflict here engage in. That is what that demonstrates. This government, on behalf of the Australian people, has consistently condemned Hamas and has been consistent in its call for hostages to be released. I would note that the person who is out of touch with the international community is Mr Dutton, because Mr Dutton opposed a ceasefire. That ceasefire was supported by President Biden and President Trump.
