As I was saying, they asked about the Greens political party. There's now one of them over there—one. There were four. We knocked out three of the four at the last election because we took a very different position from the Greens political party, as we consistently do.
My job isn't to give advice to this bloke, but my advice is how about you stand up to One Nation on something? How about you prepare to follow this bloke's leadership and not bend the knee when asked questions like, 'Do you support monoculturalism for Australia?' It's not a complex question because we've never been a monoculture. We have different people of different faiths, different ethnicities, different backgrounds that make up Australia—and, it must be said, have made up Australia forever. This is a pining for a time that has never existed in this country. The First Fleet had people who were in chains and people who were in charge; it had Protestants and Catholics; it had a multicultural society, and it continues to have one. (Time expired)
