This has gone on long enough. All we have got from this bill on 18C is increased separation across Australia. The Greens are the ultimate dividers in this country—the ultimate labellers. Which is the group that uses the term 'racist' more than anyone else? The Greens. And what have they done? They have created a victim industry in our country. And what has that done? It has caused a lack of respect right across our country—a lack of respect for people to speak up honestly, a lack of respect for what people really stand for. And now we see the ALP on yet another sham exercise, drawing it out. Why do they want to draw it out? Because they perceive it is embarrassing for the government. We are pleased to see the government and the crossbenches united in making sure we put an end to this and finish it. The ALP are just puppets, or maybe muppets, for the Greens. That is all they are. I just want to remind every senator and every Australian that governments can legislate behaviour, but they cannot legislate feelings. Responsibility must be understood, and above all we need to rebuild and bring back One Nation.
