So sensitive—we can't even criticise the Prime Minister. The lack of trust in the Prime Minister that Australians are clearly showing is being reflected not only in the polls but in the betting markets—they're an absolute cracker. But this lack of trust in the Prime Minister is being shown because all Australians know they are not safe with this Prime Minister. They know that the Jewish Australian community is not safe. A caravan in Dural had a blast radius of 40 metres, and that could have taken out possibly hundreds of people, not just Jewish Australians. In fact, one of the targets is about 300 metres from where I live. Who knows who could have been affected by this? But this Prime Minister couldn't even be briefed on it.

Yet today, when they were asked questions about the abhorrent behaviour of these nurses in Bankstown hospital, in my home state of New South Wales—crickets. The Prime Minister has not called for a National Cabinet. The Prime Minister has not done anything. We saw from Minister Wong today a passing of the buck to New South Wales so they can deal with it. They were completely unaware that, even when New South Wales had deregistered these nurses, these nurses could go and work in Victoria, Tasmania or anywhere.

Thankfully, since question time, after they were once again led by the nose by the opposition, we've found out that the nurses have now been deregistered across the country. Once again, action is being taken after the opposition has had to bring their attention to their inadequacies, and we see it time and time again. Bring on the election. Give this lot the boot. Stand with Jewish Australians—because the Holocaust didn't start with the gas chambers; it started with the actions that we're seeing on the streets of Sydney. Yet the weak and incompetent leadership that we're seeing, the inaction and ineptitude of this Prime Minister, is absolutely allowing it to fester and develop and grow.
