Georgie CROZIER (Southern Metropolitan) (12:59): (1054) My question is to the Minister for Multicultural Affairs, and it is somewhat similar to what Mr Davis has just raised in relation to having a taskforce set up about antisemitic behaviour. As he knows and as I know, in our electorate it is very concerning. I note that the antisemitism envoy Jillian Segal has said that Victoria is the worst state in Australia for massive increases in antisemitism, and it is very concerning. I was at a multicultural dinner on Saturday night, and the minister spoke. She did not mention the issue around the terrible situation that has affected so many within my community, and many, many people are concerned. In fact there was a constituent of mine that was sitting at my table who was absolutely horrified. I know she has met with a number of Islamic groups, so I am going to ask: how many times has the minister met with Jewish groups that have been raising these concerns with her and the government?
