My question is to the Minister representing the Prime Minister, Senator Wong. Macquarie University academic Dr Randa Abdel-Fattah has led children in calls for intifada, and she rejects the idea that Zionists have the right to be culturally safe. The Premier of our home state of South Australia, Peter Malinauskas, has said that he is 'of the view that the statements and actions attributed to Dr Abdel-Fattah go beyond reasonable public debate, being antisemitic and hateful at worst and deeply offensive and insulting at best'. Do you agree with Premier Malinauskas that Dr Abdel-Fattah's statements and actions are antisemitic and hateful?
