I don't share the views of the member for Dawson on that matter. And I've been very clear about that. But, I tell you what: in this country people have a right to free speech, and that is not something that the government is seeking to clamp down on. But it is important that people get the right information, and it is important that members of this chamber get the right information to people in their electorates. That is something that I strongly support, and I encourage all members of the government to do exactly that. I would invite the Leader of the Labor Party, given he is inviting me to make these comments, to say the same thing about his Labor candidate for Higgins. He's happy to have one of them talking down AstraZeneca vaccines. The Leader of the Labor Party should take the example of the former Leader of the Labor Party, who's happy to get out there and support the CSL workers who are out there making those AstraZeneca vaccines, which the Leader of the Labor Party seems to be crab walking away from.
