Royal commission hearings resume today

The next round of hearings for the antisemitism royal commission begins today.

Regretfully, we're here until Thursday night with Parliament and the game is at 4am Saturday morning. So I'll be watching on the TV. And like I've said before, sometimes I'm the minister for sport and it's important I'm at major events because there's all kinds of elements and stakeholders that are there for me to be there in person. Sometimes I'm the minister for communications and I need to see what that experience is like for Australians watching that on free to wear with regard to any siphoning legislation and reforms, etc. So this one I'll be watching on TV.
