QUESTIONS WITHOUT NOTICE

Senator ROBERTS (Queensland) (14:48): My question is to the Minister representing the Prime Minister, Senator Wong. Videos posted of the incident involving the Prime Minister at Lakemba Mosque last Friday show, by my count, 20 people in the security team, including uniformed officers from New South Wales Police who took up a position inside. One Nation leader Senator Hanson remarked only three weeks ago that Lakemba wasn't safe for everyday Australians.

If the Prime Minister organised a 20-person security detail in advance to provide security for the visit, doesn't that prove the Prime Minister believed Lakemba Mosque was not a safe place for him to visit? Senator Ayres: You should be ashamed. The PRESIDENT: Before I call the minister, I'm going to remind everyone, particularly those on my right, once again that Senator Roberts has the right to ask his question in silence.
