My question is for the Prime Minister. I have been swamped by Mackellar people writing to me of their horror at the atrocities occurring in Gaza. I share their distress and their calls for Australia to use all diplomatic levers to end these atrocities. France will soon join 147 nations in recognising Palestine as a state in a step towards achieving peace in that area. As we witness the mass starvation and the killing of so many civilians and children in Gaza, when will Australia be prepared to recognise Palestine as a state?
