My question is to the Minister representing the Prime Minister, Senator Wong. Over the weekend the murderous dictator of Iran, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, was killed as a result of military strikes from Australia's Israeli and American allies. This is a significant victory for the Iranian people, who have spent decades living under his repression. Disappointingly, a number of mosques in Australia have held services to mourn the ayatollah's death, with the El Zahra mosque in Melbourne describing the murderous dictator as 'the pious scholar, the foremost martyr of the Islamic Revolution and the rightful deputy of the imam of the age'. Does the Prime Minister believe that holding services to commemorate the so-called martyrdom of the murderous ayatollah is good for social cohesion in Australia?
