Mr SUKKAR (Deakin) (12:07): I again move as an amendment: That clause (3) be omitted. I move this amendment for the same reason we originally indicated, and that is that a worthy and important issue like this should allow the opposition to move amendments to any motion. However much we may agree with many aspects of the motion proposed by the member for Wentworth or, indeed, what should be happening in this instance—a motion being moved by the government; indeed, a motion being moved by the Prime Minister—why on earth the Prime Minister is not in here showing leadership and moving this motion after the summer we have had is an absolute outrage.

We have Jewish communities throughout Australia who are fearful— Government members interjecting— The SPEAKER: Order, the Attorney-General! Members on my right will cease interjecting. The Manager of Opposition Business is entitled to be heard in silence.

He will pause so that I can hear from the Leader of the House.
