I'll take the interjections. I don't know where they're coming from, but they're saying, 'Men wear dresses all the time.' You must live in a different world than I live in, I can assure you.

An honourable member: They're called priests!

They are told that they have to go to school dressed up as a girl. A priest is not dressed up as a girl; he wears a surplice and soutane, and he's dressed up as a priest to identify him as a priest. So don't insult my intelligence and the intelligence of anyone here today by making such a stupid statement. I repeat for the third time: every single effort to protect religious freedom has been denigrated today. I would like to ask the Christians in Australia to remember that not one single time did this parliament protect them today—not once.
