Senator FAWCETT (South Australia—Deputy Government Whip in the Senate) (14:07): My question is to the Acting Minister for Defence and the Acting Minister for Foreign Affairs, Senator Brandis. I refer to the government's commitment to provide assistance in relation to the current dire situation in Iraq. Will the minister indicate to the Senate the attitude of the government to the comments made overnight by the UN Secretary-General, Ban Ki-moon, regarding the situation in Iraq?
