We should avoid a repetition of the spite that we have heard over the last few days about Safe Schools. It would have been good if Labor had supported bringing on our private member's bill in the last parliament. The Greens lead, Labor follows a couple of years behind and the coalition comes in our coat-tails. So let's support this. It would have been good if we had done it in the last parliament when we had the opportunity. The member for Moreton and the member for Grayndler know exactly what I am talking about. We could have had a vote. So let's bring it on for a vote now because it might be our last chance to avoid a plebiscite. (Time expired)
