Consistent with the view that the government has taken previously in relation to this, on a previous motion from Senator Hanson, the Senate should not be used as a vehicle for propagating hateful or harmful speech that hurts decent young Australians and decent people. The indecency of the propositions that have just been put by Senator Hanson reaffirms my confidence in the judgement the government took in terms of the position that we are adopting here.

The truth is that, reckless to people's welfare, indifferent and callous to people's welfare, Senator Hanson will continue putting up this propaganda. For the government's part, we will not have the Senate or the offices of individual senators used for the harmful and indecent behaviour that has just been engaged in once again. On that basis, I move:

That the question be now put.

Question agreed to.
