Of course I withdraw. When there are views like that coming from Senator Wong, and the company she keeps, she is in no position to preach about the way that people treat one another. People would be suggesting that that kind of conduct is an appropriate way to treat other people in this parliament based on their beliefs genuinely held. I am not going to be preached to from people on this side who make out that they are holier-than-thou. They are so muddled headed, so weak in their thinking and so willing to think that anyone who walks into the same room, by definition, has the same beliefs. Any sensible person can see that that defies logic. It makes absolutely no sense. If we are doing our job properly as politicians, we talk to all people and we convey ideas that are right. We don't grandstand and we don't virtue signal, but we do respect free speech.
