I thank Senator Hanson-Young for her question. Yesterday, on 22 July, the Queensland Police Service arrested seven people following protest activity at a port facility near Bowen. The Queensland Police Service have said that the seven are due to appear in the Bowen Magistrates Court on 3 September this year. Any inquiries or queries relating to the circumstances of the arrest of course would be appropriately referred to the Queensland Police Service, and any inquiries regarding consular support which would be extended to French nationals are ones which would be addressed by the Embassy of France.
