But it does mean that we should do it when it matters and when it's a reaffirmation of this Senate's role. Senator Hughes says we should never do it. It wouldn't take very long, would it, to get to the kinds of propositions that each of us think should not be the subject of these kinds of pretend pieces of legislation?
It's not really a piece of legislation. It's not really a bill. Really, it is an opportunity to propagate far-right propaganda. That's what this is. It is an attempt to weasel a way into the outrage debate by hurting little kids. That's what this really is. That's what this is really about. I think Senator Hanson has a point of order.
