1 00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:02,680 Speaker 1: So we know that the Australian government yesterday announced an 2 00:00:02,880 --> 00:00:05,440 Speaker 1: announce that they are going to begin the assisted departure 3 00:00:05,440 --> 00:00:08,640 Speaker 1: of Australians affected by the situation in Israel and Gaza. 4 00:00:09,119 --> 00:00:10,240 Speaker 2: So on Monday. 5 00:00:10,680 --> 00:00:13,320 Speaker 1: They say that they directed the Department of Foreign Affairs 6 00:00:13,320 --> 00:00:16,560 Speaker 1: and Trade to assess all options to assist Australians wanting 7 00:00:16,680 --> 00:00:20,640 Speaker 1: to leave, and the Australian Government assisted departure flights are 8 00:00:20,680 --> 00:00:24,119 Speaker 1: going to be departing starting Friday for Australians who do 9 00:00:24,200 --> 00:00:28,520 Speaker 1: not already have plans to leave through commercial options. Now, 10 00:00:28,880 --> 00:00:30,920 Speaker 1: there are plenty of messages coming through on the tech 11 00:00:31,040 --> 00:00:34,680 Speaker 1: line this morning, and we appreciate all of those messages 12 00:00:34,720 --> 00:00:37,320 Speaker 1: that are coming through. We've got one here that says, 13 00:00:37,320 --> 00:00:41,159 Speaker 1: good morning, Katie. I'd be interested to hear Leofanocchio's position 14 00:00:41,360 --> 00:00:44,320 Speaker 1: on the unfair twenty five percent cap on these small 15 00:00:44,360 --> 00:00:48,440 Speaker 1: liquor license on these small liquor stores. Well, the COLP Scrappers, 16 00:00:48,680 --> 00:00:51,919 Speaker 1: asks Matt in driver. Good question, Matt, another one here, 17 00:00:51,920 --> 00:00:55,440 Speaker 1: Good morning, Katie. The gap keeps getting brought up by 18 00:00:55,480 --> 00:00:58,280 Speaker 1: the Yes campaign. How much of this gap is a 19 00:00:58,320 --> 00:00:59,920 Speaker 1: result of individual's choices. 20 00:01:00,200 --> 00:01:02,280 Speaker 2: We don't need a referendum. We need an audit. 21 00:01:02,640 --> 00:01:06,120 Speaker 1: Their skilt trip is a deception, says Rob in Humpty Do. 22 00:01:06,680 --> 00:01:10,440 Speaker 1: Another one here that's come through from Kim in Humpty 23 00:01:10,440 --> 00:01:12,360 Speaker 1: Do and it says Hi Katie Pat says they have 24 00:01:12,440 --> 00:01:15,120 Speaker 1: the details, but need our permission to develop the details. 25 00:01:15,160 --> 00:01:18,120 Speaker 1: What the if they have the details, let's have them, 26 00:01:18,200 --> 00:01:20,959 Speaker 1: says Kim in Humpty Do. And there are plenty of 27 00:01:20,959 --> 00:01:22,920 Speaker 1: messages coming through about the Voice. 28 00:01:22,959 --> 00:01:23,840 Speaker 2: But I do want to. 29 00:01:23,800 --> 00:01:26,560 Speaker 1: Take a real change of page right now and talk 30 00:01:26,600 --> 00:01:30,160 Speaker 1: again about what is going on in Israel, because I 31 00:01:30,200 --> 00:01:32,160 Speaker 1: think that over the last couple of days, while we 32 00:01:32,200 --> 00:01:35,000 Speaker 1: have seen the PM in U Laru talking about the Voice, 33 00:01:35,040 --> 00:01:38,000 Speaker 1: there has been a lot of concern about what is 34 00:01:38,040 --> 00:01:41,600 Speaker 1: going on and Australians who have been stuck in Israel 35 00:01:41,760 --> 00:01:45,280 Speaker 1: and Gaza amid that war zone, and it's something that 36 00:01:45,360 --> 00:01:47,800 Speaker 1: quite a few people are very concerned about. We did 37 00:01:47,840 --> 00:01:51,840 Speaker 1: speak to a territory family yesterday who is who is 38 00:01:51,880 --> 00:01:54,800 Speaker 1: in Israel at the moment, and we're feeling really very 39 00:01:54,840 --> 00:01:56,360 Speaker 1: concerned about how they're going to. 40 00:01:56,280 --> 00:01:57,840 Speaker 2: Get back and when they're going to get back. 41 00:01:57,880 --> 00:01:59,960 Speaker 1: But what we now know is that the federal guy 42 00:02:00,280 --> 00:02:03,000 Speaker 1: have an ounce and it's going to provide assistance with 43 00:02:03,080 --> 00:02:06,040 Speaker 1: those flights for Australians that are stuck in Israel and Gaza. 44 00:02:06,440 --> 00:02:08,360 Speaker 1: Now joining me on the line to tell us more 45 00:02:08,880 --> 00:02:12,200 Speaker 1: is the Minister for Infrastructure and Transport, Catherine King. Good 46 00:02:12,280 --> 00:02:13,200 Speaker 1: morning to your minister. 47 00:02:13,960 --> 00:02:15,680 Speaker 3: Good morning, Katie. Good to be with you. 48 00:02:15,880 --> 00:02:18,120 Speaker 1: Yeah, good to speak with you. Now can you tell 49 00:02:18,200 --> 00:02:20,239 Speaker 1: us how are these flights going to work? 50 00:02:21,000 --> 00:02:23,720 Speaker 3: Yep. Well. The first advice to people who are in 51 00:02:23,880 --> 00:02:27,079 Speaker 3: Israel who are wanting to depart is if you already 52 00:02:27,160 --> 00:02:31,200 Speaker 3: have a commercial flight booked. Whilst there are some cancelations, 53 00:02:31,240 --> 00:02:34,560 Speaker 3: Tel Aviv Airport is still open, so stay on that 54 00:02:34,639 --> 00:02:38,120 Speaker 3: commercial flight to get yourself home. If you are not 55 00:02:38,400 --> 00:02:40,680 Speaker 3: able to get on a flight or your flights are 56 00:02:40,720 --> 00:02:46,280 Speaker 3: being canceled, then the Australian Government, thanks to Quantas, have 57 00:02:48,280 --> 00:02:53,600 Speaker 3: arranged two flights for Friday, but people must register with 58 00:02:53,680 --> 00:02:57,200 Speaker 3: the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade to do that. 59 00:02:57,240 --> 00:02:59,760 Speaker 3: They can do that via the twenty four hour Consular 60 00:03:00,080 --> 00:03:04,200 Speaker 3: Urgency Center. And that's if you're overseas. That's obviously if 61 00:03:04,240 --> 00:03:07,120 Speaker 3: people are listening have got family members overseas, you need 62 00:03:07,160 --> 00:03:10,519 Speaker 3: to dial the plus six one two six two six 63 00:03:10,720 --> 00:03:15,440 Speaker 3: one three three zero five For those Australians who are 64 00:03:15,440 --> 00:03:17,880 Speaker 3: wanting to able to put their their family members and 65 00:03:18,120 --> 00:03:21,920 Speaker 3: names down on their behalf. It's one three hundred triple 66 00:03:22,000 --> 00:03:27,480 Speaker 3: five one three five from within Australia. Now those will 67 00:03:27,520 --> 00:03:30,720 Speaker 3: be leaving out of Tel Aviv Airport and that's on Friday. 68 00:03:30,800 --> 00:03:35,280 Speaker 3: De fact will obviously contact people about the flight. If 69 00:03:35,320 --> 00:03:38,320 Speaker 3: there are Australians in Israel who cannot get to the airport, 70 00:03:38,640 --> 00:03:41,840 Speaker 3: then they also need to contact the consular emergency line 71 00:03:41,880 --> 00:03:44,920 Speaker 3: to let them know where you are and we'll see 72 00:03:45,160 --> 00:03:48,240 Speaker 3: obviously what we can what travel arrangements we can assist. 73 00:03:48,400 --> 00:03:51,440 Speaker 3: It obviously is a very fluid and evolving situation over 74 00:03:51,480 --> 00:03:54,560 Speaker 3: there at the moment. But we're very thankful and grateful 75 00:03:54,600 --> 00:03:58,880 Speaker 3: to Quantus for providing these repatriation floods at such short notice. 76 00:03:58,920 --> 00:04:03,640 Speaker 3: They've retasked planes from other routes to our people. Now 77 00:04:03,640 --> 00:04:06,120 Speaker 3: these planes will go to London. We're still in the 78 00:04:06,120 --> 00:04:09,000 Speaker 3: process of working and they are free of charge. A 79 00:04:09,080 --> 00:04:12,880 Speaker 3: Quantus is neither charging the Australian government or passengers for 80 00:04:13,840 --> 00:04:16,760 Speaker 3: these flights. We are now just working on options to 81 00:04:16,760 --> 00:04:19,440 Speaker 3: get people from London back home. But this our first, 82 00:04:19,600 --> 00:04:23,760 Speaker 3: obviously priority is to get people out of the areas 83 00:04:23,839 --> 00:04:26,000 Speaker 3: who want to leave this rather immediately to get them out. 84 00:04:26,240 --> 00:04:29,960 Speaker 1: Minister, how many Aussi's are estimated to be in Israel 85 00:04:30,000 --> 00:04:33,320 Speaker 1: and Gaza needing to come home, Well. 86 00:04:33,160 --> 00:04:35,880 Speaker 3: It's difficult for us to know. We don't know the 87 00:04:35,880 --> 00:04:40,679 Speaker 3: circumstances of every single Australian who is in either Israel 88 00:04:40,760 --> 00:04:43,520 Speaker 3: or in Gaza at the moment. We simply do not know. 89 00:04:43,600 --> 00:04:45,960 Speaker 3: People have made you know, they're obviously their own travel 90 00:04:46,000 --> 00:04:49,080 Speaker 3: arrangements and are there. That is why we need people 91 00:04:49,120 --> 00:04:51,880 Speaker 3: to register with the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade 92 00:04:52,040 --> 00:04:55,119 Speaker 3: to let us know that they need to be repatriated, 93 00:04:55,160 --> 00:04:58,200 Speaker 3: that they don't have commercial options available to them. For 94 00:04:58,279 --> 00:05:00,240 Speaker 3: those people who are in the West Bank, there are 95 00:05:00,240 --> 00:05:03,520 Speaker 3: some other options available to them. Obviously, the flights we 96 00:05:03,600 --> 00:05:08,400 Speaker 3: are repatriating people are out of out of Tel Aviv Airport. 97 00:05:08,720 --> 00:05:10,920 Speaker 3: But if you're in the West Bank, then the land 98 00:05:10,960 --> 00:05:14,599 Speaker 3: border crossing to Jordan, as I understand it still remains open, 99 00:05:14,680 --> 00:05:19,039 Speaker 3: but people should check that before moving. There is the 100 00:05:19,080 --> 00:05:24,640 Speaker 3: Canadian assisted bus departure convoys departing. But again we encourage 101 00:05:24,680 --> 00:05:28,120 Speaker 3: everybody who wants to leave to bring those two numbers 102 00:05:28,200 --> 00:05:30,960 Speaker 3: that I've called to register with DEFAT and they will 103 00:05:31,000 --> 00:05:32,960 Speaker 3: be provided advice about how to get out. 104 00:05:33,160 --> 00:05:35,760 Speaker 1: Are you concerned that people might just rock up and 105 00:05:35,920 --> 00:05:37,680 Speaker 1: hope that they can get on those flights. 106 00:05:38,240 --> 00:05:40,640 Speaker 3: Well, that does sometimes happen. As I said, it's a 107 00:05:40,720 --> 00:05:43,320 Speaker 3: very fluid situation, which is why we are trying to 108 00:05:43,320 --> 00:05:45,640 Speaker 3: get the message out and very grateful to your radio 109 00:05:45,680 --> 00:05:49,479 Speaker 3: station trying to get that message out widely. We don't 110 00:05:49,520 --> 00:05:51,280 Speaker 3: know that you need help if you don't tell us, 111 00:05:51,320 --> 00:05:53,560 Speaker 3: So we need people to register with DEFAT in the 112 00:05:53,600 --> 00:05:57,280 Speaker 3: first instant to make sure that we've got those flights. 113 00:05:57,600 --> 00:06:00,919 Speaker 3: You know, obviously they're not unlimited capacity, and give priority 114 00:06:00,920 --> 00:06:06,159 Speaker 3: to people who are in priority circumstances, so obviously people 115 00:06:06,200 --> 00:06:10,040 Speaker 3: with children, people who've got medical emergencies, things like that. 116 00:06:10,360 --> 00:06:13,000 Speaker 3: If you've got your commercial flights and they are still operating, 117 00:06:13,040 --> 00:06:15,599 Speaker 3: obviously the airport is still opening, but there are delays 118 00:06:15,600 --> 00:06:18,920 Speaker 3: and cancelations occurring, keep on your commercial flight. But if 119 00:06:19,000 --> 00:06:21,640 Speaker 3: those options are not available to you, then called DEFAT 120 00:06:21,880 --> 00:06:23,560 Speaker 3: to get onto the repatriation pace. 121 00:06:24,000 --> 00:06:26,799 Speaker 1: Is there potentially going to be capacity for more flights 122 00:06:26,839 --> 00:06:28,760 Speaker 1: here if we're not able to get all of those 123 00:06:28,800 --> 00:06:30,960 Speaker 1: Aussies on the two flights that you've spoken about. 124 00:06:31,640 --> 00:06:34,920 Speaker 3: Yeah, we've organized there's an additional service between Tel Aviv 125 00:06:34,960 --> 00:06:37,960 Speaker 3: Airport and another regional hub for early next week, but 126 00:06:38,040 --> 00:06:40,640 Speaker 3: the details will be sent out. We just are still 127 00:06:40,680 --> 00:06:43,080 Speaker 3: finalizing those at the moment. And obviously, as I said, 128 00:06:43,120 --> 00:06:47,320 Speaker 3: it's a fluid situation. We're very grateful, you know both obviously, 129 00:06:47,400 --> 00:06:49,839 Speaker 3: both virgin and Quantus indicated they were willing to help, 130 00:06:49,880 --> 00:06:53,120 Speaker 3: but Quantus was had the long haul planes that were 131 00:06:53,120 --> 00:06:55,920 Speaker 3: able to help. So we're very grateful that they've stepped 132 00:06:55,960 --> 00:06:58,040 Speaker 3: up so quickly to try and help us get people home. 133 00:06:58,200 --> 00:07:00,920 Speaker 1: There has been some criticism, so people are only able 134 00:07:00,960 --> 00:07:02,640 Speaker 1: to get to London at this point. I know that 135 00:07:02,680 --> 00:07:04,839 Speaker 1: you have said that you're working on, you know, on 136 00:07:04,920 --> 00:07:08,360 Speaker 1: bringing them the whole way home. How quickly do you 137 00:07:08,400 --> 00:07:11,240 Speaker 1: think you're going to get that process underway. 138 00:07:11,920 --> 00:07:15,080 Speaker 3: Yeah, we're still in discussions. So obviously, you know, what 139 00:07:15,080 --> 00:07:17,760 Speaker 3: we've Quantics has done is retask planes that were on 140 00:07:17,880 --> 00:07:20,920 Speaker 3: other flight routes. That will mean other disruptions to passengers 141 00:07:20,960 --> 00:07:24,760 Speaker 3: across across the area, but they have retasked those long 142 00:07:24,800 --> 00:07:29,520 Speaker 3: haul planes to assist immediately to get Australians into safety. 143 00:07:29,920 --> 00:07:32,960 Speaker 3: And that's you know, that's the route they are able 144 00:07:33,000 --> 00:07:35,160 Speaker 3: to fly the quickest way we could get people out, 145 00:07:35,200 --> 00:07:38,680 Speaker 3: but we're still working on options coming back from London. Obviously, 146 00:07:38,680 --> 00:07:41,800 Speaker 3: if people have got commercial options available already to them, 147 00:07:41,840 --> 00:07:45,120 Speaker 3: then we encourage them to continue with those commercial options, 148 00:07:45,120 --> 00:07:47,080 Speaker 3: but we'll work with Australians to try and get them 149 00:07:47,120 --> 00:07:49,640 Speaker 3: back out of London as quickly as possible. But as 150 00:07:49,680 --> 00:07:52,520 Speaker 3: you appreciate now, the way in which aviation is at 151 00:07:52,560 --> 00:07:55,240 Speaker 3: the moment, there isn't just planes that we can just 152 00:07:55,240 --> 00:07:58,000 Speaker 3: just task really quickly. We're very grateful that Quantus has 153 00:07:58,040 --> 00:08:00,800 Speaker 3: retask these two planes to assist to maybe minister. 154 00:08:00,840 --> 00:08:03,960 Speaker 1: There's been criticism that the federal government has not acted 155 00:08:04,040 --> 00:08:06,680 Speaker 1: quickly enough and that this should have happened earlier in 156 00:08:06,720 --> 00:08:07,080 Speaker 1: the week. 157 00:08:08,440 --> 00:08:11,040 Speaker 3: I don't think there's any room for politics in this 158 00:08:11,160 --> 00:08:13,520 Speaker 3: at the moment, and I've watched some of the commentary 159 00:08:13,640 --> 00:08:16,320 Speaker 3: from Frankly, the leader of the opposition. I think that's 160 00:08:16,440 --> 00:08:19,520 Speaker 3: really some of the retrick he's been espousing at the 161 00:08:19,560 --> 00:08:23,960 Speaker 3: moment is really really unsettling for people. We've acted as 162 00:08:24,040 --> 00:08:26,840 Speaker 3: quickly as we possibly could, obviously the calls gone out 163 00:08:26,880 --> 00:08:30,560 Speaker 3: to the airlines to provide assistance, and very grateful that 164 00:08:30,560 --> 00:08:32,960 Speaker 3: we've been able to step up these two planes to 165 00:08:33,000 --> 00:08:35,560 Speaker 3: get people out on Friday as quickly as we possibly could. 166 00:08:35,720 --> 00:08:38,240 Speaker 1: Yeah. Look, I think that those Australians that are stuck 167 00:08:38,280 --> 00:08:41,080 Speaker 1: there wanting to come home, it is going to provide 168 00:08:41,160 --> 00:08:43,679 Speaker 1: them that certainty that they're going to be able to 169 00:08:43,760 --> 00:08:45,839 Speaker 1: get out. I'm going to be really interested to see 170 00:08:45,880 --> 00:08:48,240 Speaker 1: just how many Aussies there are though, that are wanting 171 00:08:48,280 --> 00:08:50,600 Speaker 1: to get home, and you know whether the flights that 172 00:08:50,679 --> 00:08:52,920 Speaker 1: have been discussed whether it's going to be enough. But 173 00:08:53,000 --> 00:08:55,200 Speaker 1: it sounds like there's going to be some rigal room there. 174 00:08:56,160 --> 00:08:59,280 Speaker 3: Yeah, there's certainly you know, as I said, a fluid situation. 175 00:09:00,600 --> 00:09:04,120 Speaker 3: We obviously know how many people well we know how 176 00:09:04,320 --> 00:09:07,040 Speaker 3: many people in Australian passports are in certain areas, but 177 00:09:07,080 --> 00:09:09,520 Speaker 3: people may have used other passports, so we don't know 178 00:09:09,559 --> 00:09:12,880 Speaker 3: how many necessarily at any one pointant time, are wanting 179 00:09:12,920 --> 00:09:15,160 Speaker 3: to come home. So that's why we must register with 180 00:09:15,240 --> 00:09:18,719 Speaker 3: DFAT to make sure that we actually understand just how 181 00:09:18,720 --> 00:09:20,600 Speaker 3: many Australians are there who are wanting to get home 182 00:09:20,679 --> 00:09:23,959 Speaker 3: and what their circumstances are and where there are Obviously 183 00:09:23,960 --> 00:09:25,920 Speaker 3: there'll be people who will find it difficult to get 184 00:09:25,920 --> 00:09:28,320 Speaker 3: to Tel Aviv Airport so we need to find options 185 00:09:28,360 --> 00:09:31,240 Speaker 3: for them. We've obviously there are other options obviously for 186 00:09:31,280 --> 00:09:33,000 Speaker 3: people who are in the West Bank as well, so 187 00:09:33,559 --> 00:09:37,079 Speaker 3: important to register with DFAT. There will be a lot 188 00:09:37,120 --> 00:09:39,520 Speaker 3: of calls coming in, There'll be a lot of people ringing, 189 00:09:39,559 --> 00:09:42,680 Speaker 3: so just be patient, but we will certainly do everything 190 00:09:42,720 --> 00:09:44,079 Speaker 3: we can to get Australians home. 191 00:09:44,200 --> 00:09:46,240 Speaker 2: Minister, I know you pressed for time, as are we. 192 00:09:46,360 --> 00:09:48,800 Speaker 1: I do just want to ask very quickly, there have 193 00:09:49,000 --> 00:09:53,320 Speaker 1: been pro Palestine rallies happening. One of those in Sydney 194 00:09:54,400 --> 00:09:57,600 Speaker 1: was I think, you know, the fairest word that I 195 00:09:57,600 --> 00:09:59,800 Speaker 1: can use is poor, you know, to say the last 196 00:10:00,280 --> 00:10:02,680 Speaker 1: it was not a good situation in any way, shape 197 00:10:02,760 --> 00:10:06,360 Speaker 1: or form. You know, Should these rallies actually be allowed 198 00:10:06,360 --> 00:10:06,880 Speaker 1: to happen? 199 00:10:07,880 --> 00:10:10,240 Speaker 3: Well, I mean the third thing I'd say is social 200 00:10:10,280 --> 00:10:14,160 Speaker 3: stability is incredibly important in this country. We are one 201 00:10:14,160 --> 00:10:17,640 Speaker 3: of the most successful multicultural countries in the world. And 202 00:10:17,679 --> 00:10:20,760 Speaker 3: we all when we sign up as Australian citizens, when 203 00:10:20,800 --> 00:10:24,480 Speaker 3: we sign up and we all take the pledge that 204 00:10:24,559 --> 00:10:28,520 Speaker 3: Australia Day Citizenship ceremonies all commit to stick with the 205 00:10:28,559 --> 00:10:32,240 Speaker 3: rule of law and that social compact we all have 206 00:10:32,360 --> 00:10:36,400 Speaker 3: with each other is incredibly important. So I think I 207 00:10:36,440 --> 00:10:38,720 Speaker 3: was pretty shocked by the scenes coming out of Sydney. 208 00:10:39,320 --> 00:10:44,080 Speaker 3: I think that, you know, obviously it is difficult protests, protests. 209 00:10:44,120 --> 00:10:46,160 Speaker 3: People have a right to protest around a range of 210 00:10:46,160 --> 00:10:46,640 Speaker 3: things in world. 211 00:10:46,679 --> 00:10:48,720 Speaker 2: I mean, do they have a right to protest? 212 00:10:48,800 --> 00:10:51,360 Speaker 1: So when you were talking about like there is reports 213 00:10:51,520 --> 00:10:53,480 Speaker 1: that that babies have been. 214 00:10:53,360 --> 00:10:57,040 Speaker 2: Beheaded, there is a vision of women being racking. 215 00:10:57,800 --> 00:11:00,160 Speaker 3: It is absolutely shocking. And as I said, you know, 216 00:11:01,400 --> 00:11:07,160 Speaker 3: obviously protests, if they've arranged their state governments, will work 217 00:11:07,200 --> 00:11:09,480 Speaker 3: with various bodies. But I think the scenes that we 218 00:11:09,520 --> 00:11:13,160 Speaker 3: all saw coming out of Sydney were inexcusable. I don't 219 00:11:13,200 --> 00:11:16,920 Speaker 3: think anybody would, any right minded person would think that 220 00:11:16,920 --> 00:11:22,200 Speaker 3: that was a reasonable, rational response to what, frankly was 221 00:11:22,320 --> 00:11:26,720 Speaker 3: a terrorist attack on innocent people in Israel. It was 222 00:11:26,840 --> 00:11:30,199 Speaker 3: absolutely shocking. I don't think anybody would think that was 223 00:11:30,240 --> 00:11:32,400 Speaker 3: a reasonable response. And I think people need to be 224 00:11:32,520 --> 00:11:35,680 Speaker 3: very very careful about in the coming days months ahead, 225 00:11:36,040 --> 00:11:39,600 Speaker 3: making sure that social stability, that social compact that we 226 00:11:39,640 --> 00:11:42,560 Speaker 3: all have with one another, that we respect. That people 227 00:11:42,600 --> 00:11:45,680 Speaker 3: are upset, people are hurting, people are angry. All of 228 00:11:45,720 --> 00:11:48,280 Speaker 3: those things are happening, but we live in a pretty 229 00:11:48,280 --> 00:11:52,560 Speaker 3: amazing country. It is also why politicians rhetoric is incredibly 230 00:11:52,640 --> 00:11:55,480 Speaker 3: important at the moment, and I think, you know, we 231 00:11:55,480 --> 00:11:58,160 Speaker 3: need to make sure that we are making sure that 232 00:11:58,679 --> 00:12:01,880 Speaker 3: we stand with Israel. What happened to them and their 233 00:12:01,920 --> 00:12:06,280 Speaker 3: people is absolutely horrendous and we stand with them. But 234 00:12:06,320 --> 00:12:09,320 Speaker 3: we also make sure that there is social stability, that 235 00:12:09,440 --> 00:12:11,480 Speaker 3: social compact, as I said, we all have with one 236 00:12:11,480 --> 00:12:14,600 Speaker 3: another to make sure that we are the most successful 237 00:12:14,640 --> 00:12:17,040 Speaker 3: multicultural country in the world, that we keep that. It's 238 00:12:17,080 --> 00:12:20,200 Speaker 3: a precious thing and we shouldn't be destroying that well. 239 00:12:20,200 --> 00:12:24,079 Speaker 1: Minister for Infrastructure and Transport, Catherine King, I very much 240 00:12:24,120 --> 00:12:26,640 Speaker 1: appreciate your time this morning. I know you're incredibly busy. 241 00:12:26,760 --> 00:12:28,760 Speaker 1: Thank you for speaking with us this morning. 242 00:12:29,400 --> 00:12:30,360 Speaker 3: Good to be with you, Katy. 243 00:12:30,520 --> 00:12:31,000 Speaker 2: Thank you
