QUESTIONS WITHOUT NOTICE

Senator WONG (South Australia—Minister for Foreign Affairs and Leader of the Government in the Senate) (14:24): I think that Senator McKim, if he's worried about people misleading or—I won't use his words—he probably should look in the mirror. He should probably reflect on the fact that the disruption to global energy markets is a consequence of Iran choosing to attack countries which were not taking part in strikes on Iran.

These are facts. These are facts you just ignore. Honourable senators interjecting— The PRESIDENT: Order across the chamber!

I'm waiting for silence. Senator Wong, have you concluded your answer? Senator WONG: No.

If I may be permitted to finish, the Australian Greens forget and never speak about the fact that the reason we are seeing disruption in global energy markets is that Iran has chosen to attack countries that were not taking part in strikes against them. Senator Whish-Wilson: Why are they doing that? Senator WONG: I love the way you just ignore that.

They have attacked civilian infrastructure, civilian targets— (Time expired) The PRESIDENT: Senator McKim, second supplementary?
