The Greens condemn these anti-immigrant racist marches. We condemn the senators and MPs who supported and spoke at the marches. I know that the Labor government has an amendment to our motion, which waters down the motion, but in the interest of making sure that this chamber does something and makes a comment and agrees that what happened on the streets is something we should reject—even if they don't agree with the condemnation—the Greens will support that change.
It is on every single senator and MP, here and there, to make sure that they do not spew hate and racism and they do not scapegoat and blame migrants and refugees for their own policy failures; otherwise, this country will never be safe! (Time expired)
