I withdraw it. Of course the Greens oppose this motion. It would be useful to see the coalition actually forming a position on this, opposing this motion and speaking against those kinds of dangerous fringe elements that they otherwise give a safe home to within their parties, because it comes at real cost. Senator Cox made it clear that among the communities that pay the highest cost for these conspiracy theories are First Nations communities. So reflect on the damage you're causing in these motions. I'd ask the coalition to reflect on allowing this to continue to happen week in and week out in this place and on the real cost that's causing on the ground to some of the most vulnerable people in this country. I would have thought it's our job to protect those people, not to expose them to the cooker conspiracy club, which is pushing this motion forward.
