Senator RHIANNON (New South Wales) (16:28): Mr President, Homo sapiens are part— The PRESIDENT: I gather you're seeking leave to make a statement? Senator RHIANNON: Sorry, Mr President; I'm seeking leave to make a short statement. The PRESIDENT: Leave is granted for one minute. Senator RHIANNON: Homo sapiens are part of the Animalia kingdom, or, to put it in plain English for Senator Cory Bernardi, humans are animals. Senator Bernardi is an animal. Given that this motion fails high-school-level biology, the Greens cannot take seriously any argument that Senator Bernardi has to make on the complex issues of biodiversity conservation and fire management in our forests.
