Senator Payman, I regret the way in which you put that last part of the question. I've made clear and the Prime Minister has made clear that our position remains as it was yesterday morning, which is that we support a two-state solution, a Palestinian state alongside the State of Israel, achieved in accordance with international law. I would say to you that a bipartisan commitment to two states is the only way to ensure self-determination for Palestinians, security for Israel and peace for all the peoples of the region. You would have heard me over many months asserting Australia's position in relation to international law, including international humanitarian law.
