All right, I withdraw the words I used. But I will make the point that the multiple xenophobes in the coalition party room are only to happy to endorse Senator Molan. According to Prime Minister Turnbull this afternoon, Senator Molan doesn't have a racist bone in his body. If he doesn't have a racist bone in his body, why is he sharing racist content on his Facebook page? Why does he post the threads on his Facebook page in a way that agrees with obviously racist white supremacist comments that were made in the thread?

If you share the videos of white supremacists and then refuse to apologise, then guess what? You're a white supremacist. If it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck then it's going to be a duck, isn't it? If the Prime Minister wants to carry on with the nonsense that we've seen in this report—the misrepresentation of crime statistics of Sudanese-Australian people; the allegation that there is a gang called the Apex Gang in Melbourne, when Victoria Police have strongly rebutted that suggestion—and if he is happy to ingratiate himself with white supremacists, that makes him no better than Britain First and the people who made that video.

Question agreed to.
