“We must put a stop to hate, put a stop to antisemitism,” she said.

“It has no place anywhere.”

She assured that government assistance would be made available for mental health services to support those impacted by the alleged incident, in addition to any other necessary resources for the community.

Allan mentioned that she had spoken with Jewish leaders about establishing an “anti-hate task force” comprising police and other representatives from the Victorian community.

“I’ll continue to stand with the strong, proud Jewish community here in Victoria every single day,” she said.

Allan did not take any questions before leaving.
