I know that the minister has spoken about how a whole-of-government approach is being taken to address the crises in Syria and northern Iraq, which have been fuelled by the Syrian civil war and the rise of Daesh. I think we know that the situation on the ground in the region will only be solved by creating safety and stability, as well as an opportunity for the people in the region. The government's response includes a greatly expanded military training mission, increased humanitarian and development assistance, and work to enhance regional stability. Could you discuss why this whole-of-government approach is important to improving the situation in that region as a whole?
