My question is to the Minister representing the Minister for Defence. Minister, Australian exports that end up in Israel, whether they are parts of F35 fighter planes, engines for drones used by the IDF, material for vehicle armour or any other number of types of military equipment, risk being used to carry out genocide. Furthermore, your own department's recently released figures show that even in October 2023 Australia provided further arms and ammunition to the state of Israel. The International Court of Justice found that there's a plausible case of genocide being committed by the state of Israel on the population of Gaza. Following this finding, why has your government not publicly and clearly announced an urgent ban on the export of military equipment to Israel?
