My question is to the Minister for Foreign Affairs, Minister Wong. I note that Senator Faruqi asked questions earlier, but I would also like to acknowledge that there is an outbreak of Trump fever. The government are quarantining themselves while the opposition are mirroring Trump's anti-DEI policies, imitating Musk's Department of Government Efficiency. Trump's latest announcement that he intends to take over the Gaza Strip and push the Palestinian people off their native lands is an unthinkable act of ethnic cleansing. Yesterday the Prime Minister said, 'We take considered positions when matters of international affairs are raised and we do so in a manner that is consistent with Australia's values.' Minister, when did Australian values allow for the murdering of children, the bombing of hospitals and the annihilation of a people?
