My question is to the Minister representing the Prime Minister, Senator Cormann. I refer to the CPAC conference to be held in Australia next week, which will feature many right-wing extremists, including failed Ukip leadership candidate Raheem Kassam, who has campaigned against Muslim immigration, labelled the Koran fundamentally evil and attacked the BBC for tranny pushing. Also joining Mr Kassam is guest speaker Senator Stoker. Does the minister believe it is appropriate for Senator Stoker to attend the event alongside Mr Kassam?
