Mr President, I ask a supplementary question. It was my understanding that this position was actually Labor Party policy. Could I have it clarified whether the Labor Party have changed their policy position on Western Sahara? In asking the minister for details in terms of what the government are doing in relation to Western Sahara, could we have an explanation as to whether the government have made representations to the Moroccan government regarding the systematic violations of human rights in the occupied areas of Western Sahara, as well as asking for the cooperation with the United Nations in its efforts to organise a referendum of self-determination for the Saharawi people in accordance with UN resolutions on the verdict of the International Court of Justice?
