Cash, Sen Michaelia

Senator CASH (Western Australia—Minister for Employment, Skills, Small and Family Business) (14:10): What has been on display over the last two sitting weeks is that the Leader of the Opposition cannot get support for critical national security legislation from the extreme left of his own party. What we have seen over the last two weeks is that the opposition's approach to national security has become a chaotic mess. The No. 1 priority of a government must be the security of its nation. Under the Morrison government, we will never, ever make an excuse for putting the security of our nation and the security of Australians as a No. 1 priority.
