Australians will know this about me: what I believe today is what I will believe next week and what I will believe a month from now. I went to Israel with the now Leader of the Opposition, but only one of us seems to have remembered the lessons of that trip. Our government, the Liberal and National parties, stand with Israel. I don't know what the Labor Party thinks anymore. Some of their members—the member for Sydney thinks that Israel is a rogue state. She has come into this place and has said this as a member of the House of Representatives—called Israel a rogue state.

I don't believe Israel is a rogue state. No-one on this side of the House believes that Israel is a rogue state. I don't know what the bipartisanship is that the Leader of the Labor Party speaks of when it comes to this place's support for the state of Israel. I don't know what that bipartisanship is that they refer to—particularly from this guy.
