My question is to the Attorney-General, Senator Brandis. Attorney, I refer you to recent comments by Margaret Court that lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender young people were 'all the Devil'. She equated accepting and supporting LGBTIQ young people with 'what Hitler did, with what communism did'. She said, 'That's the whole plot in our nation and the nations of the world to get in the minds of the children.' Given how hateful and hurtful these comments are to LGBTIQ people, why is Margaret Court speaking at a Liberal Party fundraiser in Melbourne tonight?
