Thank you @vanOnselenP - calling out extremism is critical to protecting the social cohesion most Australians hold dear.

In honour of the 80th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz, Governor-General Sam Mostyn and Mr Simeon Beckett SC visited the Sydney Jewish Museum this afternoon and met with survivors of the Shoah.
Her Excellency used the visit to affirm her strong personal commitment to Shoah education and to express her support for the Jewish community in light of the challenges of recent months.
Thank you to Her Excellency and Mr Beckett SC for their time and ongoing solidarity!
Welcome home, Naama. You have outlived your tormentor and now it’s time to heal. May Naama, Karina, Liri and Daniella recover in body and soul from their torture and may the remaining hostages be speedily freed.
Statement - Melbourne Synagogue attack
We have woken this morning to the horrific news that a Synagogue in Melbourne was deliberately burned down this morning.
Just after 4am, the assailants poured petrol on the Synagogue and set it alight whilst members of the Synagogue were inside. At least two congregants sustained burns and one is currently in a serious condition and is receiving treatment in hospital.
This is domestic terrorism. This is antisemitism. This is “globalising the intifada”.
Two weeks ago, Jewish cars were firebombed and Jewish homes graffitied in Woollahra. Two days ago, a large protest was held outside the Great Synagogue and special arrangements had to be made to allow attendees to leave the Synagogue.
Now, an attempt has been made to burn Jews alive in their Synagogue.
All lines have been crossed and it is only through good fortune that no one has been injured more seriously.

Great to see Aus & NSW Gov energy upgrades for social housing & renters to make homes cooler in summer & warmer in winter & healthier. We have called for this in our NSW & Aus budget submissions. Read more: https://t.co/wZJK0O99Yg @AlboMP@ChrisMinnsMP@Bowenchris@PennySharpemlc
A privilege to have lunch with NSW Secretary of Health Susan Pearce AM yesterday. Thank you for sharing your experience and insights.
@AsthmaAustralia is committed to addressing the large and importantly avoidable burden of asthma for the NSW health system and community.
@lion_peacock@CAirCommunities@AsthmaAustralia Hi Daniel,
There is evidence to show the use of hepa filters are effective in reducing pollutants in the air we breathe. And we know the greater the level of pollution in the air the greater the risk of asthma symptoms and exacerbations as well as other harmful health impacts
On the last day of Asthma Week we celebrate International Day for Clean Air. Clean air is vital to our health, inside and outside our homes. We are calling for a parliamentary inquiry into homes, health and the environment as well as funding a national AirSmart campaign.
@AsthmaAustralia supports the Government's commitment to a National Climate and Health Strategy but wants to see protecting health as the number one objective. It's vital we see a draft strategy for consultation. This is too important not to get right. https://t.co/QP5Fcai6Fk
We need a fed gov climate and health strategy that places the health and wellbeing of Australians at its center. This morning on @BreakfastNews we shared new data that shows 91% of people with asthma are worried about the impacts of climate change
Asthma is caused and exacerbated by climate change impacts like smoke, more pollens, mould from floods, and heat. @AsthmaAustralia survey shows 91% of people with asthma are concerned about the health impacts of climate change.
Did you know 1 in 3 people with asthma & allergies have worse symptoms at home?
