This video is disgusting. The footage is sickening, and it is shameful, and the comments to which the senator refers are vile. Antisemitism has no place in this country, it has no place in our health system, and the comments are inconsistent with who we are and fly in the face of all that we are as a country, which is welcoming of and respectful of people of all faiths and all cultural backgrounds.
I am advised that these individuals have been stood down by New South Wales authorities, as they should have been. I'm also advised they've been referred to the NSW Police for criminal investigation, as they should have been, and individuals found to have committed criminal antisemitic acts should face the full force of the law.
