A failed attempt to censure the NSW Police Minister Yasmin Catley has been lashed as political point scoring which is stoking further division.

The political play put forward by NSW Liberal Leader Mark Speakman on Wednesday was the Opposition’s latest attack on Ms Catley after displays of anti-Semitism during a protest at the Sydney Opera House on October 9.

Putting the motion forward, Mr Speakman reiterated concerns with Ms Catley’s performance as Police Minister. They also raised questions over the transparency over the fatal tasering of 95-year-old dementia patient Clare Nowland, and why it took police 54 hours to admit Ms Nowland had been tasered. Greens MP Jenny Leong also spoke against the censure motion, and said it was the Opposition’s latest attempt to “play the person and not the ball”.

Mr Greenwich said many members of the cross bench were also “disgusted” and “horrified” by the Opposition’s tactics.
