My question is to the Prime Minister. On Sky News last night Andrew Bolt was asked how many insults would constitute harassment under the Prime Minister's new laws which give licence to racist hate speech. Mr Bolt replied:

Let's say five.

Given the government has cited Andrew Bolt as a reason for watering down race hate protections, is it the intention of the government that Australians must be subject to five separate instances of racist abuse before it constitutes harassment?
