They're worried because it's come too close to the bone. That's the issue with the Greens. They are the new nasty party of Australian politics. They are the party who are supposed to be about progressive politics, but they are about nasty politics. They're the party that wants to break us down by race. This is the party that should be thrown out of the chamber. This is the party who the Australian Labor Party should put last at the next election. This is the party who the Labor Party in Queensland should put last, but they won't, because the only way you can stay in power is by doing a preference deal with this horrible, nasty, racist bunch of people who live in that Greens political sphere. Put them last. Throw them out of this place.
