Through you, Mr President, yes, we are listening to people. We are listening to people who are affected by racist hate speech. We are listening to people like the young Lebanese woman who said that she had been spat on and spat on, had been screamed at and had been called a wog, hated it when she was a kid, hates it now and will do anything to keep 18C. Minister, why does the coalition believe it is okay for people like this woman to be humiliated, insulted and offended on the basis of their background?
