There were plenty of things that you lot could have done today to ensure a smooth day, but, yet again, we see Labor losing control of the chamber.

This is absolutely outrageous. This part of the day occurs every day, and I am more than entitled to take note of the pathetic responses that we heard yet again from Minister Wong when it came to the security and safety of Jewish Australians. This was on the day after we saw not only antisemitic rants that called on the destruction of Israel and murder of Jews and Israelis but also nurses in the New South Wales health system declaring that they would personally kill anyone who came into the hospital if they were an Israeli—absolutely disgraceful.

Only yesterday we had the Israel caucus here. Those opposite might be upset we're taking note of this, but disappointingly there is not one Labor member of the friends of Israel caucus. There's not one Labor sitting MP, in either this place or the other place, that is a member. That is the respect that they hold Jewish Australians in. Well done to former member Mike Kelly and former member Michael Danby, who restored some faith in the old Labor that used to stand with our Israeli allies, but we know that this government, which is run by the Labor left, is bereft of these principles that had always been upheld with old Labor. That's why it is time for this Labor government to be shown the door.

Quite possibly this is the last day of this parliament, and I hope so. I hope Australians have the opportunity to boot this lot out as quickly as possible. Everything that they are doing is putting the safety and security of not only Jewish Australians but all Australians at risk. All Australians are at risk because of the rising tide of antisemitism. We saw a caravan in Dural, and the PM still won't even acknowledge when he was briefed on it, because he wasn't—because he can't be trusted. The AFP and the New South Wales Premier didn't even tell him about a caravan full of explosives in Dural, in New South Wales, which would have had a blast range of some 40 metres, because he couldn't be trusted. That tells you everything you need to know about this Prime Minister. He cannot be trusted.
