Senator Hanson, please resume your seat. Senator Hanson-Young, not only are you disorderly, you are also more disorderly because you're not even sitting in your correct seat. The debate has been heard in silence. If you don't like what's being said, take the opportunity to leave the chamber. But every senator deserves a right to be heard in silence. Please continue, Senator Hanson.

I reiterate also that the fact is that I had a Muslim candidate of mine who stood for Hornsby in the state election. I didn't have an issue with that, but where was the rebuke from people in this parliament when you had imams on our streets spilling hate out of their mouths and rejoicing over what happened in Israel in October 2023? Where's the rebuke of those people? I didn't hear it from anyone.

What you're doing today about my comments is an absolute stunt. You don't stand up to what is happening in our communities and in our suburbs, and you don't call it out. You're gutless. You're all so gutless because you rely on the votes from these people. You are so un-Australian. The people out there will actually judge One Nation and my comments. Let the people judge me. I'm not going to be judged by you at all.

Senator Hanson, please resume your seat.

Senator Hanson-Young, I've warned you and warned you. If you cannot listen with respect, leave the chamber. Whether you agree or disagree, every senator in this place has the right to be heard in silence.
