QUESTIONS WITHOUT NOTICE

Dr SCAMPS (Mackellar) (15:03): My question is to the Prime Minister. Yesterday on World Humanitarian Day, the Israel Defense Forces announced they would not open a criminal investigation into IDF strikes that killed Australian aid workers Zomi Frankcom and her colleagues or apologise or pay reparations. Former Human Rights Commissioner Chris Sidoti has called on the Australian government to expel the Israeli ambassador, saying he has repeatedly failed Australian citizens.

Will the government expel the Israeli ambassador and what will the government do to ensure justice is served for Zomi and her family?
