QUESTIONS WITHOUT NOTICE

Senator SHOEBRIDGE (New South Wales) (14:35): I apologise for missing the call, and I appreciate the indulgence. My question is to the Minister representing the Prime Minister. The Royal Commission on Antisemitism and Social Cohesion was established to give the community answers, including on the role of the security services, and as one of a number of measures, including a gun buyback, to keep the community safe.

Can the minister confirm the government is treating this work with the seriousness it demands, including giving the royal commission the support it needs if it is to establish the truth?
