I oppose—and all of us should oppose—calls for intifada. I believe Jewish Australians—all Australians—are entitled to cultural safety. My views on these issues are longstanding and have been consistent over many years in public life and over the last few years as Foreign minister. I have consistently made those views clear. In relation to this issue, I've been asked about this on a number of occasions. I have made the point that, as I understand it, the person in question is taking legal action against the Premier. I don't propose to comment any further, but my views on the issues are clear.
