Senator Mulholland spoke about the impact it's going to have on getting women into parliament, with all these deepfakes. I don't know if that's the case at all. Do you know what? You don't need to be on a Facebook page or on social media and that type of thing to get attacked, because all you've got to do is get attacked in this parliament. More attacks happen on the floor of this parliament, across this chamber—the false allegations, the comments that are made, the accusations and the words that are used in this chamber. This is where it starts. This is where it starts—here. Don't worry about social media. This is what I've had to put up with for a long, long time. I get it from numerous senators around this place. That's what needs to change. So don't say that, using social media, women won't want to get into politics. They watch what goes on on the floor of parliament—the allegations that are made in this place.
