Senator STEELE-JOHN (Western Australia) (14:20): My question is to the Minister for Foreign Affairs, Senator Wong. Israel's government is the most far right and extremist in the nation's— Honourable senators interjecting— The PRESIDENT: Order! Senator Wong, on a point of order. Senator Wong: I wonder if we could start again. There seemed to be a lot of noise. I'm very interested in the question, obviously, so I can respond to it. The PRESIDENT: I remind senators that, once again, the interjections across the chamber were disorderly and did not give Senator Steele-John an opportunity to ask his question, nor the senator to whom it was directed the chance to hear it. I'm asking for silence. Senator Steele-John, if you wouldn't mind starting again. Senator STEELE-JOHN: Thank you. Israel's government is the most far right and extremist in the nation's history. Two of its most senior ministers, Ministers Smotrich and Ben-Gvir, are proud and open racists and bigots. Finance Minister Smotrich has said: There is no such thing as Palestinians because there is no such thing as a Palestinian people. He has called for a Palestinian town to be wiped out. He is also a proud, open homophobe. National Security Minister Ben-Gvir has attended so-called 'beast parades' against gay pride, at which individual religious activists lead goats and donkeys through the streets and hoist banners calling queer people 'impure'. He has also pledged to crush Palestinians 'one by one'. When will the foreign minister issue a boycott of any Australian government representative meeting with these two individuals?
