Thank you for that question, Senator Cadell. Yes, I did see those images, and I found them deeply disturbing. I again remind all Australians, including those who care very deeply about what is happening in Gaza, of the role that Iran has played and continues to play in the region. One can advocate for a ceasefire and for humanitarian law to be observed without aligning one's rhetoric with a regime which, frankly, has been repressive, murderous and a destabilising force in the region.
