I presume the member opposite—I'll take his interjection—is in favour of the exclusion of Taiwan from the World Health Assembly? Is that the case? Is it the case that a country which has been successful in dealing with this is being excluded from it? As the G7 said, 'Taiwan should be there.' As Australia has said, 'Taiwan should be there.' As Antony Blinken, the US Secretary of State, said, 'There is no reasonable justification' for Taiwan not being there. The only reason it's not there is because of the bullying of China.
