We need to remind the community that while peaceful protest is part of a healthy democracy, criminal acts are not to be tolerated at all. I'm disgusted to hear about the latest acts. These are sacred sites and must be treated as such. We're a very proud nation of many people, and we're very proud of the men and women of our ADF, people who've fought for our freedoms. These acts of vandalism have no place in society, and we need to condemn them in the strongest possible terms. That is why everyone in this place, bar the Australian Greens, will be supporting Senator Lambie's motion about those people who have defaced our war memorials. I want to congratulate you, Senator Lambie, for moving the motion. On that note, I look forward to the Senate supporting Senator Lambie's motion.
