Senator WONG (South Australia—Minister for Foreign Affairs and Leader of the Government in the Senate) (14:28): I wonder if Senator Shoebridge issued a press release welcoming the doubling of the core funding of UNRWA when Labor did that. Did he issue a press release? Or did Senator Faruqi or any of the Greens issue a press release congratulating us and recognising how important that was? Did you do that? No. Because actually your focus is how you use this conflict to extract votes, and it is reprehensible. The PRESIDENT: Minister Wong, please resume your seat. Senator Shoebridge? Senator Shoebridge: The minister is not being responsive. It is question time. We ask the questions. The PRESIDENT: Senator Shoebridge, do you have a point of order? Senator Shoebridge: My point of order is that the minster is not being relevant. She's out of order asking questions rather than providing answers. The PRESIDENT: Senator Shoebridge, I will listen carefully to the rest of the minster's response. Minister Wong, please continue. Senator WONG: I said yesterday, in answer to a question from Senator Faruqi, that I think there are two irrefutable facts in relation to UNRWA. One is that it is necessary in order to deliver humanitarian support in the occupied Palestinian territories, in particular in Gaza at this time—absolutely, which is why we increased the funding. The second irrefutable fact is that serious allegations have been made. I spoke yesterday with the chief of UNRWA about what measures can be taken to resolve this issue, because we are being constructive. (Time expired)
