My question is to Senator Lundy, representing the Minister for School Education, Early Childhood and Youth. Are the comments today by Minister Garrett—that there are still high levels of bullying in Australian schools and that legalising same-sex marriage could spare some Australian teenagers from bullying on the basis of sexual orientation—based on a recognition that improving policy protections and setting an example through federal laws is a way to reduce these young people's risk of homophobic bullying?
