Senator, I have responded on this publicly at multiple press conferences and in multiple interviews. You know the position we have taken. We have said very clearly that the issue about compliance with international law is for Israel and the US to outline. We have said we did not participate in the strikes. We have also said we support action to ensure that Iran does not possess a nuclear capability. We have said that we stand with the brave people of Iran in their struggle against oppression. And I would again say to the Australian Greens: I know you have a political narrative that you want to prosecute, but for once think of the people of Iran at some point in your discussion.
