This side of the chamber has heard the calls from the community to act and to act now, and it is up to all of us. In 2021, the passage of the Online Safety Bill occurred because both sides of parliament worked together. In 2024, even Peter Dutton—even Peter Dutton—stood up to work with the government to tackle the scourge of social media. Senator Henderson just last month said that what we needed to do is to give young people—

listen to your words, Senator Henderson—and all Australians greater choice as to what they see online. Here's another quote for you, Senator Henderson:

If you are focused on online safety for children, why are you trying to stop this bill coming into law?

That's what Senator Henderson said.

The courage of your convictions! Thirteen days and you changed, because One Nation changed. Don't you ever come here and talk to us about the politics of conviction, because you have none!
