I acknowledge the interjection by Senator Kemp. He is now in the business of counting the number of times that the word ‘foreign’ is used. It is in fact foreign in Australia to keep using the term ‘foreign’ as a pejorative term for people who come from overseas, but this seems to be the Labor Party’s new tactic. We have shifted from a dog whistle to a foghorn. We have now got a Leader of the Opposition who tells Australian parents, ‘Watch out, the foreigners are coming to take your children’s jobs.’ If you are not ashamed of it, I am. You should be ashamed of it.
