Australia is a free country. We live in a democracy. Every individual Australian is entitled to their opinions, and we want good Australians on all sides of politics to engage themselves and become the best they can be in their view of the best way forward. In the end, that is how we get the best possible outcomes for our community. One way young Australians can ensure that they become effective advocates of their views, their values and their principles into the future is by attending school, and I refer the good senator to my answer to his first question.
