Hon JAMES SHAW (Minister of Climate Change): I'd like to take a moment to honour those killed in the terror attack outside Kabul airport last week. It was a horrific development and has worsened what was already a terrible situation. I understand that the attack killed up to 170 Afghanis and 13 US troops, and we add these victims to a toll that stretches to the hundreds of thousands, if not the millions, in the blood-soaked and tragic history of foreign interventions in Afghanistan, for this present conflict, of course, has its roots in the great power rivalries between the British Empire and Tsarist Russia up to 150 years ago.
