My question is to the Minister for Home Affairs. The Prime Minister expanded the Safer Communities Fund after the Christchurch terrorist attack to address risks associated with racial intolerance. The same fund, the Auditor-General has now confirmed, was used to favour coalition seats. The Holland Park Mosque applied for a grant after being subject to a number of Islamophobic attacks, including vandalism that referenced the Christchurch shooter as a 'saint' and someone wielding a machete. Why did they miss out?
