As Special Envoy for International Human Rights, I welcome Lebanon’s decision to abolish the death penalty. It is a significant step towards universal abolition and important for human rights in the region. Australia opposes the death penalty in all circumstances for all people.

Our responsibility to repair the world is described in Jewish religious tradition as ‘tikkun olam’. The passion of those who pressed for this inquiry, the Prime Minister’s decision to establish it, and the vital work Virginia Bell will now lead all embody that responsibility.

It is my hope that the Royal Commission will provide healing for the Jewish community and our nation, and recommend practical ways to respond to the scourge of anti-semitism. It is a hope I share with so many Australians I have spoken with in recent weeks. 1/2

While it is now clear that there was no threat from the caravan incident at Dural, this despicable event was designed to spread fear in the Jewish community and provoke division.
Those who concocted the criminal hoax and helped spread it have caused incalculable harm. 1/3

Antisemitic behaviour has no place in Australia and we utterly condemn it wherever it occurs.
This activity is part of the continuing effort to combat antisemitic crime by the Australian Federal Police and other law enforcement agencies. 2/3

I utterly condemn the reported threats to the Australian Islamic House Masjid in Sydney.
All Australians have the right to worship in peace. Racist threats and Islamophobia will not be tolerated.
The matter is being investigated by NSW Police and AFP has offered its assistance.

It’s no surprise Senator Cash wants to change the topic, the Liberals want you to forget their record on hate speech. They wanted to change the Racial Discrimination Act so it would be legal to "offend, insult, humiliate or intimidate” someone because of their race or ethnicity.

The Albanese Government has today delivered landmark reform to strengthen hate speech laws.
This Bill delivers the toughest laws Australia has ever had against hate crimes.

The Government utterly condemns antisemitism in all its forms.
I understand the alarm in the community over the discovery of a caravan allegedly laden with explosives in Sydney.
The matter is being investigated by the Joint Counter Terrorism Team.

Today is International Holocaust Remembrance Day.
It marks the anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz-Birkenau where one million Jews were murdered.
This day and every day we must remember the victims of the Holocaust and combat antisemitism in all its forms.
Never again.
