I move general business motion 215, standing in my name:

That the Senate—

(a) notes speakers at a Q Society of Australia Inc fundraiser in Sydney said "I can't stand Muslims", "The NSW Division of the Liberal Party is basically a gay club" and, in relation to ISIS, "They are not all bad, they do chuck pillow­ biters off buildings";

(b) notes the Government was represented at the fundraiser by the Member for Dawson;

(c) rejects these comments which have no place in modern Australia or respectful political discourse; and

(d) calls on all parliamentarians to repudiate such remarks and sentiments.

I seek leave to make a short statement.
