The funding, which was announced on International Holocaust Remembrance Day, will go towards building a National Holocaust Education Center in Canberra and upgrading the Holocaust Institute in Western Australia.

A spokesperson for the opposition Democratic Party said the punishment of the ring leader of insurrection now begins finally.
