This motion is an obscenity. It has nothing to do with freedom of speech. We have seen these cruel, insensitive antics by Senator Anning before. I said last time that I was ashamed, as a male, to even discuss the day's agenda with female members of my staff. Exclusion zones are there to protect women from ratbags, religious zealots, proselytisers, right-to-lifers and others who target vulnerable women going through probably the most traumatic times of their lives. I suggest that the Katter party senator google the name 'Peter James Knight'. Knight was a rabid anti-abortionist who shot and killed security guard Stephen Rogers when challenged as he tried to enter an abortion clinic in Wellington Parade, East Melbourne. His goal was to massacre every person in there. He had guns and 16 litres of petrol. Last month, an anti-abortion protester attacked the partner of a woman inside a termination clinic in Surry Hills in Sydney. Look it up, Senator, and consider withdrawing your foul motion.
