QUESTIONS WITHOUT NOTICE

Senator WONG (South Australia—Minister for Foreign Affairs and Leader of the Government in the Senate) (14:33): I think that's probably a question for the presiding officers in relation to the use of the facilities. I have not been other than to give a speech in one of the ante rooms, or the annexes. I have not been in the private dining room for some time.

Until you raised it with me, I was not aware of his presence. It's a matter for the ambassador or whoever was engaging with him to explain. What I would say is that we disagree most strongly with the position that the Netanyahu government has been engaging in in relation to the settlements in the West Bank.

We've made that clear. We've sanctioned individuals. We've sanctioned entities.

I announced yesterday that we would take further targeted action.
