Senator Faruqi's motion describes Australia as being made up of First Nations people and migrants. Senator, I am not a migrant. I was born in Australia. Countless millions of Australians were born in Australia. They're not migrants either. Their parents, grandparents and great-grandparents were born in Australia. They're not migrants. Here is yet another deliberate example of the truth being denied by a Greens member. Senator Faruqi demonstrates how out of touch she and her party are with reality and with real Australia as she attempts to divide our people on racial lines. I'm opposed to all extremism. Senator Faruqi had a great opportunity to receive cross-party support had she simply condemned all extremism, both Left and Right. We will not be supporting the motion.
