My question is to Senator Wong. Tomorrow will mark two years since the slaughter of Australian aid worker Zomi Frankcom and her six colleagues by Israel. This was no tragic mistake. The clearly marked aid convoy was struck three separate times until they were all killed. Two years on, no-one has been held accountable. Instead of justice, your government has offered platitudes and the inadequate Binskin report. Minister, you could have referred the matter to the ICC, pushed for an international investigation, demanded the release of evidence, imposed consequences or insisted that those responsible be charged. At the very least, you could have honoured Zomi's family's wishes and demanded that Israel give a public apology and compensation to recognise her life and support other aid workers. Beyond quietly raising the issue, what concrete action have you taken to secure justice for Zomi Frankcom?
