My question is to the Prime Minister. Can the Prime Minister explain whether the following racist bigotry would be prohibited under the government's proposal? I refer to the case of Jones and Toben in which infamous holocaust denier Fredrick Toben stated that there is serious doubt that the Holocaust occurred, that it is unlikely that there were homicidal gas chambers at Auschwitz, that Jewish people who are offended by and challenge Holocaust deniers are of limited intelligence, and other matters that I will not repeat. Toben said he was engaging in discussion of the Holocaust. Is the PM aware these statements breached section 18C?
