There has been a range of actions taken, including by the Department of Home Affairs from memory, outlining the remedies and protections available under Australia's foreign interference regime that are available to Australians. My recollection is there has been engagement with the community on that. I think you have asked me this question before. I will get further information for you, if you wish, about those past activities, Senator Chandler.

I again restate in here: we are very clear about our multicultural democracy. We are very clear with all concerned that we will defend that. Part of that is people are free to express their political views peacefully. Part of that is people are free; Australians should be safe from intimidation and coercion. They should be allowed to operate and exercise their voice in this country without fear of intimidation from any party. (Time expired)
