My question is to the Minister representing the Attorney-General, Senator Watt. The Minister for Sport has thrown her support behind Sam Kerr, the captain of the Matildas, even though body cam footage presented as evidence in court showed Kerr calling a British police officer 'stupid and white'. Why does the Labor Party support people who use racial speech in that manner, and would Sam Kerr be jailed under the hate speech mandatory sentencing laws if she were to behave that way in Australia?
