Senator BRANDIS ( Queensland — Deputy Leader of the Government in the Senate, Vice-President of the Executive Council, Minister for Arts and Attorney-General ) ( 14:55 ): Senator Lambie, with all due respect, the premise of your question is based on a proposition that I have just told you is wrong. Senator Lines: Try again! Senator BRANDIS: The issue of adherence to sharia and the issue of citizenship, or adherence or allegiance with a foreign power, are different issues—at least, that is the way the High Court would see it. As I say, Senator, and I am sure you share my view about this, the government condemns extremism in all its forms. If that extremism is practiced or proselytised in the name of any orthodoxy or religion or form of law, we condemn it unconditionally. We do not condemn any particular religion. What we condemn is the pretext of religion to cloak or mask or justify extremism, terrorism and violence. Any Australian citizen who engages in that form of activity breaches Australian law.
