I'm talking about administrative errors. I want to refer to Senator Keneally, who just gave us a big lecture, and make a point on the mistakes she made when she was Premier of New South Wales. We know the history of all of that!

Senator Jacinta Collins interjecting—

I like being provoked, Jacinta! I want to make this point.

Senator Dodson interjecting—

Senator Dodson, I'll take that objection because I want to make this point: when it comes to the fact that it's a white supremacy statement that it's okay to be white, I was ignorant. I had no idea what the statement meant. It was something that was never discussed in the shearing sheds, Senator Dodson, in the trucks or on the farms. I had no idea of that. So I admit my ignorance on that very issue. Life is a learning experience. I've learnt now.

Senator Cameron interjecting—

Senator Cameron, if I were only like you, I'd know everything, wouldn't I! I want to make this point: those opposite, who are standing up now holier than thou and giving lectures, have a record of mistakes in administration as well!
