My question is to the Minister for Foreign Affairs, Senator Payne. We are now 20 months into this pandemic, and the delta strain is ripping through Papua New Guinea—a mere four kilometres away from Australia. Isn't Senator Fierravanti-Wells right to say that this government 'has dropped the ball on providing urgent support to our most important Pacific partners'?
