My question is to the Minister representing the Minister for Education, Senator Watt. Last week, many school students skipped class to attend School Strike for Palestine protests, which Jewish community leaders warned would fuel division and antisemitism.

As predicted by Jewish community leaders, antisemitic signs and slogans were ultimately displayed at these protests. Minister, what action did the Albanese government take prior to these protests to discourage attendance and encourage children to remain in school?
