I would also note that this motion comes to this place today to commemorate and mark the death of then Israeli Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin. It acknowledges his promotion of peace and coexistence at that time, but we know for all time, given the nature of his leadership and his legacy. The motion very clearly refers to an enduring two-state solution to end the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, supported by Australia—a two-state solution mutually negotiated and agreed by Israelis and Palestinians. That it is not possible to extend with courtesy, diplomacy and generosity of spirit an acknowledgement of this resolution by the Greens in this chamber, is profoundly disappointing.

Question agreed to.
