My question is to the Prime Minister. When did the Prime Minister first become aware of the planned mass casualty terror attack against Sydney's Jewish community?

I thank the member for his question. I've said that the government has two priorities. The first is keeping Australians safe. The second is making sure that the ongoing investigation, which is ongoing, prioritises not just capturing those people who have been involved—and there are, of course, at least two people who are in custody publicly. But, in order to ascertain who is behind this, it is absolutely critical that the AFP, the state police agencies, ASIO and the intelligence agencies be allowed to do their work, and the federal government will provide every support for them.
