Prime Minister Scott Morrison says he doesn't believe the Liberal Party has a problem with Islamophobia.
Mr Morrison has told the Ten Network he doesn't believe Islamophobia is an issue in the National Party, either.
He says despite this, Islamophobia is a problem in Australia. Mr Morrison also denied claims he encouraged colleagues to use concerns about Muslim migration for political gain.
He says in the 2010 meeting in question, he was acknowledging that there were these fears in the community and was seeking to address the issue.
In reports dating back to 2011, unnamed sources say Mr Morrison had encouraged his Liberal colleagues in a opposition cabinet meeting to make the most of community concerns about Muslim migration.
