Labor senators have been very naughty boys and girls and, I will tell you what, Santa Claus will not be visiting Labor Party households this year. He is going to be checking his list twice to see whether they have been naughty or nice, and those opposite have been very, very naughty—very naughty. If they are lucky, they will get a nice lump of Queensland coal in their stockings. As for the Greens, you will get some nice gender neutral coal in your stockings to play with. This is what we are talking about. The Greens, who were not happy with just destroying the economic future of Australian children, have decided to try to destroy Christmas for them. They want to take Christmas away from children with their nonsense about having gender neutral toys for children. What do children want for Christmas? Children want a cuddle and they want some toys to play with. They do not want dogma from the Greens; they do not want leftist tripe from puritanical Grinches. Imagine waking up in a Green household at Christmas. You would have some sort of androgynous dalek, you would have malevolent Barbies and you would have a neutered Peppa Pig. I could not think of anything worse than waking up in a Greens household and then getting the presents afterwards.
