I had thought that … everyone in federal parliament, everyone in political management on this nation, would perceive that this can be a time to unite and set our faces towards antisemitism, and to say we stand collectively towards antisemitism. As an alternative, what we’ve seen, as you’ve talked about, is criticism, is disunity, a name to divide from fairly quite a few senior Liberals, together with [Peter] Dutton, and it’s disappointing that that’s the stance that they’ve taken. This isn’t a time for partisan bickering.
