My question is for Minister Wong. Minister Wong, you announced yesterday that the Albanese Labor government will not pursue a full ban on importing goods from illegal Israeli settlements in the occupied West Bank because it's concerned about 'unintended consequences for Australian businesses, for Palestinians and for Israelis'. What unintended consequences is the Albanese government concerned about?
