The story that aired last night on ABC Four Corners was deeply distressing. The women who shared their stories are incredibly brave and I’m glad the Victorian Premier has referred this matter to police.

There is no place for antisemitism in Australia. The violence and hatred we saw in Bondi is an evil scourge and we will eradicate it. That’s why we’re bringing in new laws to protect Jewish Australians and crack down on those who spread hate, division and radicalisation.

We stand united with Jewish Australians and we will never relent in the fight against antisemitism.

Before we came to government Australia was the only OECD country without a CDC equivalent.
The former government had not led a national pandemic drill for 12 years and we were woefully underprepared for the covid pandemic.
