00:00I take the opportunity to say to Australians, do not travel to Lebanon at the moment.
00:11We have a very clear statement that has been issued through the Department of Foreign Affairs
00:17and Trade, and for those Australians who are overseas, they should take the opportunity
00:23to come home to Australia.
00:26There is a risk that the Beirut airport might not be open for commercial flights, and given
00:35the numbers of people who are there, there's no guarantee that we can just guarantee that
00:41people will be able to come home through other means if that airport is shut.
00:48So we say to people, listen to the warnings which are there.
00:54And please, over recent months we've seen people continue to go, travel to the region,
01:02and we have made very clear warnings about that.
