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

“It has no place anywhere.”

She said government support would be in place for mental health services for those affected by the alleged attack, as well as whatever other support the community needed.

Allan said she had spoken with Jewish leaders about convening an “anti-hate task force” with police and other representatives of 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.
