Community safety

Ann-Marie HERMANS (South-Eastern Metropolitan) (10:01): William Cooper, an Aboriginal man from the Yorta Yorta community, protested against Nazi persecution of Jews. It really distresses me to think that we have displays by neo-Nazis in Victoria. Jewish community people deserve to feel safe. Children that go to Jewish schools deserve to feel safe. Christians, Muslims, Sikhs – whatever their religion or their non-religion is, all Victorians deserve to feel safe without vilification and without violence, abuse or discrimination for their faith.
