Support for rebuilding Adass Synagogue

The Albanese Labor Government unequivocally condemns and stands against antisemitism in all its forms.

The rise of antisemitism is abhorrent and there is no place for the kind of hate speech and attacks we have seen recently in our country.

The firebombing of the Adass Israel Synagogue was a crime of cowardice and prejudice.

It was an attempt to threaten and silence the Jewish community, in Melbourne and right around Australia.

We won’t stand for that.

We are committed to ensuring that this community rebuilds.

HELEN MADELL, LABOR CANDIDATE FOR FLYNN: Good morning, everyone. And welcome to the Boyne Smelter. It’s a great morning that we have here this morning in town, and it’s great to have all of you with us. My name is Helen Mandell, I’m the Labor Candidate for Flynn.

Violence in Syria

The Australian Government condemns the recent horrific violence in Syria’s coastal region.

We are deeply concerned by UN reports that many civilians from the Alawite community were summarily executed and understand the community’s distress. Our thoughts are with them at this time.

Australia condemns the murder of innocent civilians. All minorities must be protected, including those from the Alawite, Christian, Druze and Kurdish communities. 

The Government has urged all parties to protect civilians, exercise restraint and prioritise dialogue.

ZANETA MASCARENHAS, MEMBER FOR SWAN: Alright, I’ll start by acknowledging the Whadjuk people of the Noongar nations and their elders past, present and emerging. I would like to welcome Prime Minister Anthony Albanese and Minister Ed Husic for coming to Curtin University. I was born in Kalgoorlie, I grew up in Kambalda, I worked in a nickel mining town. This is a state that can not just mine things, but we can manufacture things as well. As a chemical engineer that studied at this very university, I know the potential that WA has.
