This is urgent. This needs to be before the Senate so that we rescind the invitation. He's coming next week. Over 500 prominent Australians, including former diplomats and public servants, took out a full-page advertisement calling this invitation, which will be happening next week, immoral and wrong. They're right. Hundreds of thousands of Australians have spent more than two years in the streets protesting genocide. They've marched, they've rallied peacefully and we've joined them. They are a great movement for humanity such that Australia has not seen before. They are the longest continuing mass protests across the country, and their core demand is peace. They've used their voice to say, 'Not in our name,' and how does this government respond? They wrap themselves around the head of state of the very country accused of committing those crimes.
