Thank you, Minister, for outlining your concern on this matter. The so-called Davos of the Desert investment summit will be held in Riyadh next week. In the wake of this journalist's disappearance, a large number of companies and governments are boycotting this event. Minister, I understand that Austrade is still currently advertising this event as a 'valuable opportunity to explore investment partnerships with Saudi Arabia in priority sectors'—services and technology, agriculture and food, resources and energy, et cetera. Will you also boycott this event, and are you still sending government officials? (Time expired)
