As I was saying, our government and the Labor Party stand for a non-discriminatory immigration policy, and we don't discriminate against people on the basis of their faith. As Senator Ayres was mentioning, I think what we're seeing and hearing here from One Nation is foreshadowing where we're going to see the coalition end up on immigration policy in a matter of weeks, because we know that's what happened when it came to net zero policy. It started with One Nation railing against wind farms and railing against net zero, and then it spread to the National Party, and then it spread to the Liberal Party, and then it even spread to the so-called moderates in the Liberal Party, who had to cave in to the conservatives, the Nationals and One Nation on their opposition to net zero. So what we're seeing here, I predict, is what we will see within a matter of weeks as the immigration policy of the Liberal Party. Hello, Senator Duniam. You're in charge now, along with Senator Scarr. Senator Scarr might have to face a situation where he has to explain to those Brisbane multicultural groups why he's followed One Nation when it comes to immigration policy.
