Senator Hinch, that's just wrong. There has been no such debate in the government party room or in the Liberal party room. There has been no discussion of Senator Smith's bill or of Senator Paterson's bill in the government party room or in the Liberal party room. Senator Hinch, might I remind you that, when it comes to the removal of discrimination against gay people in this country, my side of politics has taken the lead on many significant occasions both in state parliaments and in this parliament.
