I note that the Greens in 2016, under a different leader, promised an Australian centre for social cohesion. I note that Senator Di Natale talked about social cohesion. I note now that somehow that is no longer an appropriate thing to do and we are being criticised for using social cohesion.

Whatever the words are, I believe, and we believe, in an Australia where people are not targeted because they are different. I believe in an Australia where people should be brought together. That is what we will always work towards. What I find interesting, Senator Faruqi, is you say these things about Mr Dutton, but you were prepared to work with him and his people on the CFMEU bill, on the build to rent bill, on the help to buy bill, on the Net Zero Economy Authority bill, on the NDIS bill and on creating a new EPA. So next time you come in here and give us all a lecture, let's remember where you vote.
