On 19 October, we saw proud, patriotic Australians take to the streets again to stand against Labor's out-of-control mass immigration. I would like to applaud the behaviour of all those involved in the main marches, who were, without exception, peaceful. The only violence came from the issue driven left, as described by Wayne Cheeseman of Victoria Police. Victorian police were pelted with rocks, rotten fruit and bottles full of glass shards. I would like to thank Commander Cheeseman for giving Australia the truth on who instigated the violence at the rally. I would like to thank the brave police, who put themselves in harm's way to keep the peace.

Last month, the US listed antifa as a terrorist organisation, recognising that attacking police and peaceful protestors is in fact terror activity. Is it time that Australia did the same? Terror has no place in Australia. ASIO has Australia at a 'probable' likelihood of a terror attack. ASIO defines 'probable' as a greater than 50 per cent chance of an onshore attack or attack planning in the next 12 months—it's no wonder when Labor is actively importing centuries-old conflicts from overseas.

Australians have had enough. We are a nation of peace. That is why so many people from all around the world want to come here and build a new life. To come to Australia is to leave your conflicts behind. But Labor is intent on bringing in tens of thousands of immigrants that refuse to leave war and violence behind them—just look at the streets of Melbourne.

When I asked the government about the ISIS brides in September, I was told that no assistance was being provided to them. Of course, a month later, we found out they're back in the country. These women chose to join the most heinous terrorist organisation in the world. Labor is risking the safety of Australians by providing assistance and bringing terror to our shores.
