Yet again, the Greens political party engages in misinformation in that question. What I would say is that we do call on all parties to observe international humanitarian law. We do recognise the awful images we are seeing. We do understand, and have consistently called for, the importance of the observance of international law, including the observance of the Geneva convention. The approach of the Greens political party is one that relies on misinformation, assertions which are incorrect, because they see benefit in raising the heat. They see benefit in raising the heat and in promoting anger.
