I am making a habit of asking questions of the Leader of the Government in the Senate. My question is to the Minister representing the Prime Minister, Senator Brandis. Last week the leader of the Liberal Party's preferred partner, One Nation, said, 'Islam is a disease; we need to vaccinate ourselves against that,' and promoted the hashtag 'Pray4MuslimBan'. Was the Prime Minister correct when he said, 'Demonising the Muslim community or attributing to all Muslims the responsibility for the crimes of a tiny percentage is exactly what the terrorists want'?
