Senator WONG (South Australia—Minister for Foreign Affairs and Leader of the Government in the Senate) (14:26): Thank you to Senator Ciccone for the question. I'm pleased to confirm that 349 Australians, permanent residents and their family members arrived in Sydney last night on a Qantas flight from Cyprus. It was heartwarming to see these Australians welcomed home by their loved ones. Three further government assisted flights from Cyprus back to Sydney and Brisbane are planned over the next 24 hours, and I want to acknowledge and thank Qantas and Qatar Airways for this repatriation. All those returning on government assisted flights have rights of entry or valid visas. These fights are the latest step in our government's efforts to help Australians in Lebanon to safety. As you would be aware, the government's travel advice for Lebanon has been 'Do not travel.' Senator McKim interjecting— Senator WONG: 'Why?' Senator McKim: Who's bombing them? Senator WONG: This is about the evacuation of Lebanese Australians, Senator—which we are facilitating. We've been warning Australians for many months— Honourable senators interjecting— The PRESIDENT: Order! I ask those senators who can't be respectful in this chamber to leave. That applies to government senators and Greens senators. If you can't listen in respectful silence then leave the chamber. That's your choice. Minister Wong, please continue. Senator WONG: As commercial flights became more difficult to access, our government stepped in to work directly with airlines and with partners to secure seats for Australians. Over the weekend, we built on this, with Australian government assisted departure flights. So far, 1,215 Australians, permanent residents and their immediate family members have been assisted by this government to depart Lebanon on six flights. I particularly want to thank Australian government personnel involved in this effort, including Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade staff in Beirut, in Cyprus and all those working here in Australia in the crisis centre. Just as we saw with the assisted departure flights from Israel and the Occupied Palestinian Territories, these staff act with professionalism, courtesy and kindness in challenging circumstances. I thank them for their work. (Time expired) The PRESIDENT: Senator Ciccone, first supplementary?
