Senator BIRMINGHAM (South Australia—Minister for Trade, Tourism and Investment and Deputy Leader of the Government in the Senate) (14:19): I thank the senator very much for his question, because those who wish to exercise their right to freedom of speech in Australia to protest, to strike and to make public statements are absolutely entitled to do so. That is something that our government strongly and passionately defends. However, where taxpayers are funding education and services for students to receive, our view is that if you want to go out and protest, if you want to go out and exercise your right to free speech, go your hardest but do it at a time of day and in a place where taxpayers are not footing the bill for your education. Do it at a time and in a place when you are in your own time, not when the taxpayer is paying or contributing towards what it is you're doing to receive an education. That was put very plainly by Mr Tehan, and I thank you very much, Senator, for quoting him. Mr Tehan wasn't saying that people aren't entitled to protest or aren't entitled to have their say, but he was very clear in his messaging to indicate that, if they're going to do so, they should do it in their own time, not on the taxpayer's dime. The PRESIDENT: Senator Steele-John, a supplementary question.
