You are blinded by the toxic, dirty, grubby, cheap politics of the day. Until you get past that, until both sides of this chamber accept that we need a bit more moral leadership and try to find their moral compass, it will be very difficult to lay down that route and bring people here safely. Bickering in this chamber over who is the toughest and nastiest does not save lives, does not warrant the values of leadership and does nothing to put Australia on a good footing in our region.
