Senator RUSTON (South Australia—Assistant Minister for International Development and the Pacific) (11:49): I seek leave to make a short statement. The PRESIDENT: Leave is granted for one minute. Senator RUSTON: We agree that racism, extremism and hate speech has no place in our Australian democracy. However, it is not up to the Senate to dictate how political parties determine how they allocate their preferences. Electoral matters are for the determination by party organisations. Question agreed to.
