Through you, President—the Prime Minister engages closely and regularly with premiers and chief ministers and has worked closely with Premier Minns. What I would ask of the opposition is: will you stand with us against antisemitism? Will you stand with us? The most effective way of standing against prejudice and hatred—I say this as somebody who remembers John Howard—is for the parties across this chamber to stand together, united against antisemitism. I invite those opposite to show that principled leadership and bipartisanship against prejudice and hate. I invite Senator Ruston to do that. I will always stand against prejudice and hate, and I invite those opposite to stand with us against it.
