I note Senator Dastyari saying, 'It's satire'. The problem is that everything Mr El-Mouelhy says is inextricably linked to one of the most vile characters that you could ever imagine in the business community. We don't accept people doing the wrong thing in business, and yet this is a bloke who proudly does it. This is a bloke who says that Australian women will be desperate for Muslim men to fertilise them so that they can have Muslim babies everywhere. And you think that's satire? You think that's acceptable, Senator Dastyari, from a Muslim community leader that apparently many in the Muslim community look up to, because they want to link with him to take over AFIC? This is a guy who wouldn't even attend the inquiry that Senator Dastyari chaired, because he was afraid of being exposed under parliamentary privilege as being a scammer and a rorter. He is a disgrace.
