Penny Wong (SA, Australian Labor Party, Leader of the Opposition in the Senate) Share this | Hansard source

My question is to the Minister representing the Prime Minister, Senator Brandis. Since senators last had the opportunity to ask questions of ministers in question time, there have been further horrific terrorist attacks around the world. These include attacks in Manchester, London, Kabul, Tehran and Minya, and we have lost Australian lives in Melbourne, Baghdad and, of course, most recently in London. I know all of us in this chamber express our deepest sympathies to the families and friends of those lost or harmed in these recent attacks. Can the minister outline how the government is working to assist Australians impacted by these attacks?
