[by video link] That just shows how low Senator Patrick will go. My speech to this parliament is on behalf of millions of Australians who feel they have been discriminated against, and he wants to shut that down like I'm not doing my work. I am damn well doing my work!

The fact is they feel discriminated against. What makes me so angry is that yesterday, in the lower chamber, 11 hours were spent debating a bill about religious discrimination. The fact is: we've spoken about transgender people, we've spoken about gays and lesbians, but you're standing up fighting for an issue that doesn't really come into the equation when we have millions of Australians being forced to have injections against their will, losing their jobs, losing their homes and who are suiciding. This has actually happened to Australians. But you gutless wonders in that place there have not taken the chance to actually go out and talk to them and listen to them. You've shut down debate in that parliament on behalf of many Australians, and I will continue to fight for them on their behalf. Talk about discrimination! You are pathetic because you haven't given them the chance to have their voices heard. Listen to their concerns; that's what it's about. Yet you pick and choose what you want to say is discrimination. It is a shame. Shame on all of you! (Time expired)
