Pauline Hanson (Queensland, Pauline Hanson's One Nation Party) Share this | Hansard source

Never once on the floor of parliament have I mentioned domestic violence when saying why I have supported this legislation. I have stated my case for why this needs to be done. Again, the Greens and the Labor Party are twisting my words, making me sound totally different from what I am. I'm used to it. It has happened over all the past years. They try to denigrate me and twist my words to suit them so that the people don't really know the truth. The fact is that we do need to work together, and I've said this before: it is about the Australian people; it is not about us.

I think that anyone in this place who knows me would know that I do my research, I am passionate about what I believe in and my vote cannot be bought. I am standing up for the Australian people, and that's what we have to do here. I will reiterate that: it is up to us to make the right decisions to move forward for the people of this country. As I said, there's so much harm being done. We got it wrong with the Family Law Act 1975. We have moved on from there. We are now at a stage where we have to make a difference.
