My question is to Minister for Foreign Affairs, Senator Wong. Minister, many Australians now stranded in the Middle East have reportedly been unable to contact consular staff, with emergency lines unanswered and hotlines overwhelmed, yet your government has spent months coordinating the return of ISIS sympathisers, issuing them dozens of passports. Why can the Albanese government pave the way for the return of terrorist sympathisers but not ensure law-abiding Australians stranded overseas can get help when they need it?
