The government joins this motion to acknowledge the anti-Semitic abuse and violence and to repudiate all anti-Semitic attacks in Australia. Holocaust education is a crucially important part of combating anti-Semitism, and the government has a strong track record in this area. In April of this year, for example, the government committed to provide $10 million to Melbourne's Jewish Holocaust Centre to help increase its educational activities. Repudiating anti-Semitic discrimination is one of the objectives of the government's proposed religious discrimination bill. Specific school curriculum issues are generally a matter for the relevant state or territory education authority, but the government welcomes all efforts to combat anti-Semitism at every level of government around the country.

Question agreed to.
