Foreign Minister Penny Wong speaks to SBS about Israel, Iran, and much more

Australia is still negotiating with Israel for access to certain evidence to try to find out what happened to Australian aid worker Zomi Frankcom.
On 2 April the government confirmed Lalzawmi "Zomi" Frankcom had been killed in Gaza, when an Israeli drone strike hit a World Central Kitchen aid convoy.
Within days, Prime Minister Anthony Albanese demanded "full transparency" from Israel and announced the appointment of former defence chief Mark Binskin to investigate her death.
At the time, Albanese was pressed for clarity over air chief marshal Binskin's scope, what primary source materials he would request from Israel's government and military and the likelihood that he would go there to conduct his inquiries.
More than a month later, Foreign Minister Penny Wong has confirmed in an interview with SBS World News that Australia is still "in discussions" about that access.
"We are in discussions with the Israelis and I'm sure Mr Binskin will be afforded access to the information about the process they have undertaken in order to be able to report to me and the government," Wong said, speaking from Cox’s Bazar in Bangladesh following a listening tour inside the refugee camp.
