One Nation supports this motion. The Queensland state parliament's member for the electorate of Mirani is a direct descendant of the Vanuatu Kanaks blackbirded into slavery to work on North Queensland cane fields in the late 19th century and the early 20th century. Stephen Andrew is proud of his ancestry and proud of his service to our state and country in parliament and in the North Queensland community, where he proudly lives a free man. One Nation, the people of Mirani and I are proud of Steve Andrew's service to our state and country. He and we are proud of his heritage. He and we want our country's history to be told honestly.

Question agreed to.
