QUESTIONS WITHOUT NOTICE

Senator FARUQI (New South Wales—Deputy Leader of the Australian Greens) (14:35): 2024 was the deadliest year on record for aid workers, with Gaza remaining the most dangerous place in the world and Israeli attacks killing hundreds of aid workers. Australian aid worker Zomi Frankcom's killers continue to walk free, and not a single person or entity has been sanctioned for her killing.

You've signed on to the Declaration for the Protection of Humanitarian Personnel, Minister, but words without accountability protect no-one. Minister, do you support comprehensive sanctions against states that attack and kill humanitarian workers?
