Steve Pratt wants to make sure we all know that he and Brendan Smyth care about Muslims too.
So much so that they are hosting a “reception” for Canberra’s Muslim community this evening, time and location unknown.
Mr Pratt said, “The purpose of holding this reception, in these challenging times locally and abroad, is to honour the cherished position that the Australian Muslim community holds in the ACT and in the Australian landscape.”
So it definitely has nothing to do with the fact that the federal branch of his party wants to push through new terrorism laws that some, including the Federal Police Association, have said will unfairly target Muslims, OK?
