Senator McKIM (Tasmania) (14:20): Attorney, I direct you to the following quote from Senator Canavan this morning on ABC: People should be allowed to have a joke in this country—it's part of our Australian culture and way of doing things, I think—without being hauled before the courts. Why is Senator Canavan's right to tell racist jokes more important than people's right to be free from the harms caused by racism? The PRESIDENT: Senator O'Sullivan, on a point of order? Senator O'Sullivan: I have been listening carefully to the questions, and section 73 is very clear. There are about nine provisions in it, and I think the questions that have been asked—this one in particular, with its imputations—have offended all of them. It has to be withdrawn. The PRESIDENT: I will allow the question. The question will stand. I call the Attorney-General.
