Middle East conflict

Ellen SANDELL (Melbourne) (09:38): I move, by leave:

That this house:

(2) calls on the Victorian Labor government to end all military ties with Israel, including its memorandum of understanding with the Israeli Ministry of Defense and its partnership with Elbit Systems.

Leave refused.

Members interjecting.

The SPEAKER: Order! The member for Tarneit can leave the chamber for half an hour.

Member for Tarneit withdrew from chamber.
