Minister, the genocide convention, which you mentioned and to which Australia is a signatory, not only requires states to take action when a genocide is occurring but to prevent it from occurring and ensure that states are not complicit. Thirteen states have already recognised Israel's genocide and resolved to take action to prevent genocide through the Hague Group. How long will you be a bystander without taking any concrete action against Israel's genocide of Palestinians?
