For the comity of the chamber I will, but I will make the point that it is rankly hypocritical for Senator Hanson to pretend to be sticking up for people like the North Sentinelese people, given her record of victimising and degrading Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people in Australia. I will also make the point that this motion, put forward by Senator Hanson, is in its own way an attempt to exploit the North Sentinelese people for her own base political purposes—something the motion purports to stand against.
