Well, Senator, we have a Racial Discrimination Act and we have protections of religious freedom. We are committed to respecting all the different communities within Australia, whatever their national or ethnic origins and whatever their religious faiths.

As far as the parliament is concerned: as I said in answer to your primary question, I think this chamber, and the other place, is well able, by its own will, to indicate its support for and respect of all faiths and cultures.
