I would like to address Senator McKim's preamble now, because in that preamble he actually congratulated Greens councillor, Jonathan Sri. Let me tell the chamber what Greens councillor, Jonathan Sri, has been doing. What he's been doing is inciting a protest whereby people are jumping on vehicles, and a delivery driver was confronted by protesters who insisted on searching his vehicle. Protesters—I again note the congratulations of Senator McKim—are also breaching social-distancing restrictions. What is that doing? Risking the spread of COVID-19, not only amongst the community, Senator McKim, but amongst the people that you are allegedly standing here and expressing fake concern for. (Time expired)
