Just stop your politicking in this place. Stop throwing rubbish around the place and mud at each other, because it doesn't make us look like the people we should be in this nation—and just prior to an election. It's not up to minister Peter Dutton, opposition leader of the Liberal Party, to say what the Liberal Party's Leader of the Opposition in Victoria should do. It's nothing to do with minister Peter Dutton. It is up to the members down there, and the members, I understand, are not going to throw her out of the party.

I get frustrated and annoyed with the failure of this place to deal with the real issues. Like I said, no-one likes the Nazi symbols, and the people who were hurt the most out of this were the Jewish community. You have antisemitism that goes on, and it just has to stop. People have to stop and respect other people's views on many things. Yes, Nazi symbols, by all means, but let's debate it, because the words are only about Nazi symbols. I want to know how far you want to go with this. We need to debate it. We need to know what it means. To put it on this floor in two hours is just ridiculous. Put it up at a sensible time. I'd love to have a lot of the bills I put up heard, and to have a say on them, but I'm not given that opportunity.

Let's deal with the bills that have been brought before this parliament today. I think it's more important to the people of this nation that we deal with the questions of whether we get can get the manufacturing industry going and whether we can actually deal with the housing problem. A lot of people are sleeping in their cars. Yesterday, one fella rang me up desperate because he's been sleeping in his car for the last year. That's because he's a nurse and, because he refuses to have the vaccination, he can't get a job. That's how desperate people are. And you're worried about Nazi symbols? Wake up!
