Treasury Laws Amendment (Strengthening Accountability for Tax Adviser Misconduct and Other Measures) Bill 2026

Senator McKENZIE (Victoria—Leader of the Nationals in the Senate) (18:01): The coalition will not be supporting this amendment. Listening to Senator Faruqi, it would seem that supporting the IDF or the families of the IDF is somehow now a crime in Australia and that supporting the victims of Hamas's atrocities and the victims of Hezbollah's atrocities is somehow now a crime.

That the abhorrent antisemitic comments that essentially blame the Australian Jewish community and other Australians that donate to this legal charity here in Australia—a legal Australian Jewish charity—are somehow akin to supporting genocide says everything you need to know about the Australian Greens and their views of the Australian Jewish community and their support for many of their families and loved ones in Israel.

So the coalition will not be supporting this amendment, and we look forward to voting no as soon as possible.
