My question is to the Prime Minister. A senior member of the Prime Minister's cabinet, the Minister for Social Services and member for Sydney, today refused to specifically condemn Grace Tame's conduct at a Sydney rally where Tame chanted a vile antisemitic slur. Will the Prime Minister today show leadership, disassociate himself from these words and unequivocally condemn this disgusting display of antisemitism by the former Australian of the Year?

I thank the member for her question. I'll make two comments. One is: I'll refer to my previous answer. The second is: we need to not continually look for political opportunities from what is a devastating situation. We need to turn the temperature down.
