My question, the last question I will ask in this chamber, with some sadness, is addressed to Senator Faulkner, the Minister representing the Minister for Foreign Affairs. Given that the nations of the United Kingdom, France, Germany and many others all recognise Kurdistan as a separate entity within Iraq and have official representation in Australia, can the minister clarify for the Senate why, after my representations and those of the representative of the Kurdistan regional government, the government has not altered its negative travel advice for the Kurdistan region?
