Simcha Rothman has responded to the Australian government's decision to cancel his visa ahead of his visit.

The far-right Israeli government politician says the government's decision is "antisemitic" and directed against the Jewish community in Australia, the state and people of Israel. 

The Australian government hasn't detailed on what grounds the visa was cancelled, but Rothman says he was told his presence and words could have a "serious impact on peace" in Australia.

"The Australian government's decision to deny me the opportunity to come and speak to my people, due to expressing simple and clear positions, is clear and blatant antisemitism that gives a boost to terrorism," Rothman says.

"The State of Israel must teach the entire world how not to surrender to terrorism," he says.

"I will not be deterred, and I will continue to make the proud voice of the Jewish people heard wherever I am."

Israel's national security minister Itamar Ben-Gvir, who has been sanctioned by Australia, has hit out at the government's decision to cancel Simcha Rothman's visa.

In a post in Hebrew on X, Ben-Gvir says the Australian government's "active support for Hamas and terrorists", and the cancellation of Rothman's visa, is a "historical stain" and "shame".

"The cheers of joy by Israeli left-wing activists, Hamas collaborators, and Israel slanderers around the world, are a disgrace that will never be erased from their minds," Ben-Gvir says.

Andrew Leigh has been asked about the government's decision to cancel the visa of Israeli politician Simcha Rothman.

Leigh says social cohesion is important and that the Home Affairs Minister Tony Burke makes no apology for taking a hard line.

"What we want to do, is make sure those coming to Australia, are doing so to contribute to the public conversation in a positive way, and we don't want to see that conversation become nasty and more divisive than it is already," Leigh says.

Andrew Leigh says Andrew Bragg's criticism of the government's under 16 YouTube ban shows he is "really off with the fairies". 

He says children should spend their childhood playing sport, out with friends and engaging in learning — not on their screens. 

"A rich childhood is one that is not just sitting there scrolling, scrolling, scrolling," Leigh says.

"I think Andrew Bragg really is off with the fairies on this one if he thinks that Australian children should spend more time scrolling."

Andrew Leigh says Australia needs to "cut through" regulation to speed up projects that are getting bogged down in paperwork.

"We don't get to the renewables transition if projects are taking 10 years to get built. We need to accelerate the speed of which things get built," Leigh says. 

"We need to make sure researchers are spending less time doing paperwork, more time doing their research," he says.

Assistant Productivity Minister Andrew Leigh has joined Afternoon Briefing to discuss the upcoming economic roundtable. 

He says the next few days will be dedicated to brainstorming to "raise the speed limit of the national economy". 

Asked why the government needs to have a "talkfest" to cut regulations on home builds, Leigh says the housing minister is examining ways to speed up the construction of homes. 

He's rejected claims from Andrew Bragg that the government has put too many regulations in place.

Leigh says Australia needs more competition.

"We need to take a leaf out of the sporting book and see more competition flowing through the economy. That encourages people to raise their aspirations," he says.

Andrew Bragg has been asked about the government's decision to deny Israeli politician Simcha Rothman from entering Australia.

Bragg says while he's not aware of the details on the case, but acknowledges some members of the Israeli government have said "extreme and unreasonable" things. 

He says he believes Australia is in a "very bad spot" when people crossing the Sydney Harbour Bridge can celebrate Iran's Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.

"I think the idea that you can propose the erasure of Israel, and that be seen as something that no-one even takes as a serious affront shows that we are in a very bad spot with some of these debates," Bragg says.

Andrew Bragg has been asked whether he supports the government's "middle path" approach to artificial intelligence.

Bragg says Australia should avail itself to the benefits of the technology to make sure businesses can use the technology. 

He says Australia needs to be "more positive than negative" about the emergence of AI.

"It's going to be very disruptive, but there will be benefits of this disruption as well as long as we're prepared and we're not going to be over regulatory in our endeavour," Bragg says.

"We can actually avail ourselves of its benefits, and then be conscious that there will be some risks that need to be addressed but we've got to be more positive than negative," he says.

Shadow Productivity Minister Andrew Bragg has joined Afternoon Briefing to talk about the upcoming economic round table.

He's been asked what the Coalition's strategy is for this week's meeting.

Bragg says deputy Liberal leader Ted O'Brien is going to the round table in good faith to help find common ground to improve the Australian economy. 

He's been asked if the Liberals have contributed to Australia's slow productivity growth.

But Bragg has put the blame on the current government, and says there has been a "significant change" in the level of regulation. 

"Regulation has been a productivity killer in Australia. Regulation has meant that businesses can invest less, and it's also helped the non-market side of the economy grow. So, over the last few years, we've seen a significant increase in the level of regulation," Bragg says
