I seek leave to make a statement of no more than one minute.

Leave granted.

Colleagues may or may not know that today is the Trans Day of Visibility. It's a day when we ask our community to celebrate trans folks, to show our love for trans people and to show our support for trans people. That we would have to, on this day of all days, vote down yet another attempt by One Nation to create a platform for transphobia, using the Senate to provide parliamentary privilege for people to pile on to trans kids and trans people yet again and cause them even more suffering and pain, is beyond the pale. Trans rights are human rights. Trans people deserve our love and support, not being piled on in a culture war. (Time expired)
