Senator FARUQI (New South Wales) (14:23): Minister, IDERC marks the day police massacred 69 peaceful protesters demonstrating against apartheid in South Africa. Australian governments were shameful supporters of white apartheid South Africa until Labor Prime Minister Whitlam took action. Honourable senators interjecting— The PRESIDENT: Senator Faruqi. Senator FARUQI: Minister, we are now witnessing an apartheid against Palestinians. The PRESIDENT: Senator Faruqi, please— Senator FARUQI: What will it take— Honourable senators interjecting— The PRESIDENT: Senator Faruqi! Order across the chamber! Senator Faruqi, I should not have had to ask you three times to resume your seat, but the interjections, particularly from my left side, were disgraceful. The senator has the right to ask her question in silence. Senator Faruqi, please continue. Senator FARUQI: Minister, what will it take for the Labor government to withdraw its support for the apartheid and genocidal state of Israel? The PRESIDENT: Senator Faruqi, as I'm sure you're aware, that is a long bow to draw. It's really up to the minister whether she answers that second supplementary or not, but I'm going to invite her to respond. Honourable senators interjecting— The PRESIDENT: There will be silence in this chamber.
