Pursuant to standing order 74(5), I ask the Minister representing the Minister for Foreign Affairs, Senator Brandis, for an explanation as to why an answer has not been provided to question No. 408, regarding the decision by Australia not to participate in the UN Conference to Negotiate a Legally Binding Instrument to Prohibit Nuclear Weapons, Leading Towards Their Total Elimination and, secondly, question No. 410, regarding Israel's automatic prosecution of Palestinian children in military courts. These questions were asked on 17 March of this year. I understand some notice has been provided to the foreign minister's office that I was intending to raise this. I would be interested to see whether the minister can enlighten us as to why answers to these questions are so long overdue.
