QUESTIONS WITHOUT NOTICE

Senator WONG (South Australia—Minister for Foreign Affairs and Leader of the Government in the Senate) (14:10): As I have said, and as the Prime Minister has said, we do not mourn the passing of Ayatollah Khamenei. He led a regime which is responsible not only for the sponsoring of terrorism and the backing of proxies which have engaged in horrific attacks in the region, but for a regime that also organised attacks on Australian soil against Jewish Australians.

We do not mourn his passing. That is the position of the government. The PRESIDENT: Senator Cash, first supplementary?
