I would make the point that the government has made commitments which go to social cohesion within a very short period after the attacks, including a grant or funds to the Executive Council of Australian Jewry and similar funds to other communities affected, in terms of both support and security. There was also funding for targeted mental health, community and wellbeing support, as well as, as I said, security measures. There was also funding for the protection of Australians from terrorist and violent extremist content online. I would say to the senator that we are open to discussions about how we can continue to support all parts of our community at this time. (Time expired)
