Senator McGRATH (Queensland) (17:01): What we have here is a Labor government that is making international foreign policy based on internal factional whims. We have foreign policy being decided by factional bosses. I reference my good friend from Queensland Senator Scarr and his rundown of some of the history of Israel and the borders. But that is irrelevant to this discussion, because foreign policy is being decided by factional bosses. What we're seeing is that the Labor Party will gather in Brisbane next week and the Prime Minister is playing factional games. He is using foreign policy to, in effect, manage his own political party. That is not just a national disgrace; that is an international disgrace. What message does that send to our allies—that our foreign policy is made up on the fly by our Prime Minister and Labor factional powerbrokers? Senator O'Neill: It's a return to your language— Senator McGRATH: I'll take the interjection from Senator O'Neill. This is a very important issue, and our side, the coalition, do believe in a two-state solution, but let's remember that Israel is the only liberal democracy in the Middle East. I dare anyone in this chamber to go to the West Bank and see if you have freedom of speech there. You won't. So let's just talk about what this is about. This is about freedom and democracy being thrown to the wolves of factional powerbrokers. (Time expired) Senator O'Neill: It sounds like you're advocating for a one-state solution. The ACTING DEPUTY PRESIDENT ( Senator O'Sullivan ): I call Senator Ciccone and ask that Senator Ciccone be heard in silence.
