Our government condemns racism, full stop—any form of racism, irrespective of where it takes place. Whether it's in the Senate, outside, on the football field or in shopping centres or malls, racism is abhorrent. I point out, Senator Nampijinpa Price, that you have no doubt experienced your share, as I have and continue to do so. But, again, I call on all Australians to elevate themselves in this debate, in this journey.We are not going to agree on everything, but I would encourage all Australians listening—hopefully not at 1.30 in the morning but listening generally—that we must do so always with dignity and respect. Of course this government does not support racism in any form.
