Senator WONG (South Australia—Minister for Foreign Affairs and Leader of the Government in the Senate) (14:57): It is always so disappointing that, when there is a crisis for this country, the first thing the opposition do is try to make politics out of it. They always go to politics about it. That is what they always do. Honourable senators interjecting— The PRESIDENT: Minister Wong, please resume your seat. I have worked very hard to make sure that Senator Sharma was respected and that his question was heard in silence. That same respect applies to Minister Wong's answer. Please continue, Minister Wong. Senator Cash interjecting— Senator WONG: I want to make some comments. Honourable senators interjecting— The PRESIDENT: Order. Senator Watt, I've just finished saying to the Senate that Senator Wong needs to be heard in silence, yet the interjections started again. Minister Wong. Senator WONG: This year, before the conflict began on 28 February, we issued a total of 41 travel advice updates for the Middle East, including to warn that conflict could result in airspace closures, flight cancellation and other disruptions. We posted 26 times across X, Facebook and Instagram, including, on 15 January: Regional tensions in the Middle East are high and the security situation could deteriorate rapidly and without notice. This may result in airspace closures, flight cancellations and other travel disruptions. On 30 January, we also provided information that there was a risk of further escalation and that closure of airspace around transit hubs in the Middle East may impact flights globally. (Time expired)
