“The horrific antisemitic attack at Bondi Beach demands national action and it’s time all parties and MPs delivered.

“The victims, families and Jewish community leaders have been united in their calls for a strong response. The Royal Commission is part of it, but we also need urgent action on the issues that can be addressed quickly in a way that keeps the Jewish community and Australians of all faiths and backgrounds safe.

“We have a bill being introduced next week – it is imperfect, but as MPs we have a responsibility to work on this legislation together to get it right for all Australians.

“The Liberals and Nationals called for urgent action, now they must follow through. If there are differences within the Coalition, then at the very least they must give their MPs the opportunity for a conscience vote.

“The Greens have flagged their concerns about hate speech and gun laws, now they have the opportunity to help shape laws to tackle these issues.

“We urge all MPs to negotiate in good faith to deliver concrete action.

“We can’t afford to wait any longer.”
