Subjects discussed included security at Jewish schools, synagogue, Palestinian statehood, discrimination in schools on the basis of gender identity, pill testing, the inclusion of the far-right into mainstream politics, Medicare and mental health funding, climate change and the meaning of Zionism.
There was also a specific question directed at Steph Hodgins-May about an anti-Zionist social media post by a Greens staffer, which was reported in the media last week.
