I withdraw it. The Greens think it's urgent we get a human rights act. But instead there is complete cowardice from Labor to actually stand up and do something principled. You'd have to stand up to a bunch of hardcore right-wing racists to say that First Nations kids shouldn't be in jail, but we're willing to do it. Why isn't Labor willing to do it? We're willing to stand up to those hardcore right-wing racists and say that First Nations kids should have rights.
