Senator McGRATH: Let me be very, very clear: the Liberal-National government will never ever change the date of Australia Day. It is a day to bring all Australians together— Honourable senators interjecting— The DEPUTY PRESIDENT: Senator McGrath, resume your seat. Order! Senator McGrath has the right to be heard in silence, and I would ask all senators to respect that right. Order! Senator McGRATH: It is a day to be proud, not a day to be ashamed. It is a day that brings all Australians together. That is what is good about being Australian. The City of Yarra council should— Honourable senators interjecting— The DEPUTY PRESIDENT: Senator McGrath, resume your seat. Senators, I have asked that you listen in respectful silence. Order! Senator McGRATH: The City of Yarra council should focus on roads, rates and rubbish, rather than this politically-correct mumbo jumbo, bat-poop-crazy stuff masquerading as social engineering. We will never change the date of Australia Day. We are proud to be Australian. Honourable senators interjecting— The DEPUTY PRESIDENT: Order! Order! Senator Whish-Wilson: I seek the Senate's leave for Senator McGrath to have another five minutes! Honourable senators interjecting— The DEPUTY PRESIDENT: Order!
