Senator WONG (South Australia—Minister for Foreign Affairs and Leader of the Government in the Senate) (14:18): I have been on the record, certainly in my time as Foreign minister to date but also all my life, about prejudice being an issue we all have a responsibility to confront. Antisemitism is a hatred that we all have a responsibility to confront. That has been my consistent position, Senator, and it always will be. The PRESIDENT: Senator Ruston, on a point of order? Senator Ruston: In relation to direct relevance to the question that I asked, the Prime Minister has made one comment and Minister Burke has made another. I'm just seeking to understand which of those you agree with. The PRESIDENT: Senator Ruston, points of order are not opportunities to make statements. I will address your point of order and say, once again, that the minister is being relevant. Minister Wong, did you wish to continue? Senator WONG: I would make this point: I was asked previously, in a different context, about references to intifada, and I'll refer you to those comments, Senator. What I did say was I agreed with Ms Segal— Senator Ruston: Maybe let Don answer. He's prepared to answer. The PRESIDENT: Senator Ruston, you've asked your question. Senator WONG: What I said was I agreed with Jillian Segal, the antisemitism envoy, in her views about the way in which those failures have been used to whip up hatred.
