Mr Deputy President, I withdraw. What we've seen here today and this week is a toxic campaign led by Peter Dutton—the man who walked out of the apology to the stolen generation, the man who, in hope of holding the leadership of the Liberal-National coalition, thinks sowing division and fear and racism is his ticket. It is just appalling that the alternative prime minister in this country would prefer to divide our nation and promote mistruths rather than unite people. The fearmongering is astonishing, even for the likes of Mr Peter Dutton, and I fear that it's only going to get worse because the only thing that the Leader of the Liberal Party—otherwise known as 'the nasty party'—does is to continue to race-bait, fearmonger and promote lies. That is the only thing that Peter Dutton is good for.
