Senator PAYNE (New South Wales—Minister for Foreign Affairs and Minister for Women) (14:30): In a democracy like Australia, there are a number of rights, responsibilities and privileges that I think many, many Australians overwhelmingly treasure and value. One of those is the opportunity to protest and have peaceful demonstrations and peaceful exercises like the one that was undertaken yesterday. Unfortunately, there are too many countries around the world where those privileges, rights and democratic values that underpin our democratic system— Senator Keneally interjecting— Senator Pratt interjecting— Senator PAYNE: are not extended to many, many people. The PRESIDENT: Order! Senator Payne, I'm going to ask you to cease. I'm going to ask senators, when I do use their names, to at least have some break before they start breaching standing orders again. Senator PAYNE: Those democratic values are not extended to their populations, and in that regard Australia is a fortunate country. Not very far from here, and in a number of places around the world where we have seen recent activities of protest and demonstration, we have seen those met by violence from authorities. In that case, the values of the Australian democracy should be at the forefront of all our minds. The PRESIDENT: Senator Keneally, a supplementary question?
