 David DAVIS (Southern Metropolitan) (12:52): (1046) The Jewish community in my electorate is under real threat and real attack at the moment, and in this context I draw the attention of the Premier to this plight. I notice the constant antisemitic material that is in the public domain, whether it be on schools or whether it be in a range of other places, and I therefore repeat my call for the Premier to take charge of this matter – for the Premier to actually convene a taskforce to deal with these matters. This would involve the police, it would involve the Minister for Multicultural Affairs and it would involve education – and indeed the Minister for Skills and TAFE, as we have heard in this chamber, has been reluctant to act within her portfolio. What I am asking is: will the Premier convene such a taskforce to deal with the antisemitism that impacts so directly on my electorate?
