My question is to the minister. Minister, is it intended that this new secret committee would be consulted before Australia supported—I don't know; I'll think of something at random—an illegal war by the United States and Israel on Iran? Would it be intended that the committee be consulted before the Australian government adopted a position on—again, just to pick something at random—the Albanese government supporting an illegal war from Israel and the United States on Iran? Would it be intended to be consulted in those circumstances?
