Malcolm Roberts (Queensland, Pauline Hanson's One Nation Party) Share this | Hansard source

What about men being in dressing rooms for girls and playing rugby league in a sport for women? Censorship and lies are a form of control. Always, beneath control, there is fear. Labels are the refuge of the ignorant, the incompetent, the dishonest and the fearful. Of what are you afraid? Open debate. People in Australia are not afraid of open debate.

We have respect for the parliament. Senator Hanson rarely calls out; I never call out, because this parliament stands for the people. That's why I don't call out. In recent years, people have had enough of your gutlessness. When you target Pauline Hanson, her support and popularity rises. Thank you so much. Parliament is for people's voices to be heard. When people's representatives are silenced, it hurts the people. We need debate.
