on indulgence—I associate the opposition with the remarks of the minister, and thank him for updating the House on the ongoing investigation into the horrific crime at the Adass Israel synagogue and the arrest. It's pleasing to know that the rebuilding of the synagogue and the community centre is going ahead. I want to commend the work of the joint counterterrorism unit and the AFP, and to say that we in the opposition—and I know the government shares these concerns about the rising tide of antisemitism in this country and the expression of that—believe that incidents such as this and, more recently, at the East Melbourne synagogue are not something we should ever accept in this country and we should strive continually to educate more, do more and encourage more to dispel that tide.
