Senator DODSON (Western Australia) (14:26): My question is to the Minister representing the Attorney-General, Senator Cash. Yesterday, government senators supported a motion echoing a slogan used by white supremacists. The Attorney-General today issued a statement blaming his staff for the government's decision to support the motion. Last night, the Attorney-General backed in the vote by tweeting: The Government Senators' actions in the Senate this afternoon confirm that the Government deplores racism of any kind. The question is: how is backing in the government's support for a slogan used by white supremacists with a tweet consistent with the Attorney-General's claim that it was a mistake?
