I would say first that, obviously, we don't comment on intelligence, but you would have seen public statements which have been made by some of our respected leaders in the intelligence community about the importance of social cohesion.

In response to Senator Fawcett, I spoke about some of the support the government has given, including for security as well as mental health support and other support for communities, including the Jewish community and members of the Islamic community.
