McKim, Sen Nicholas

Senator McKIM (Tasmania) (14:43): Mr President, I ask a further supplementary question. Government senators interjecting— The PRESIDENT: Order on my right! Senator Ronaldson! Senator McKIM: I have always thought, Mr President, the louder the volume the more sensitive the nerve that is touched. The PRESIDENT: Senator McKim, go to your question. Senator McKIM: Finally, Attorney, given your government's propensity to trample fundamental civil and human rights because you believe it to be politically expedient to do so, will you commit to another white paper process before introducing further laws in the name of counter-terrorism?
