Senator SHOEBRIDGE (New South Wales) (14:20): Minister, with 103 public submissions from organisations and hundreds of personal submissions to the inquiry on this bill, only one—and that was from Home Affairs—supported it. Diaspora communities and human rights groups have called this bill 'racist', 'in breach of international law', 'a threat to social cohesion', 'cruel', 'ineffective' and 'unworkable'. Why did your government so fundamentally betray and ignore multicultural communities in Australia by pushing this bill in the first place?
