Senator THORPE (Victoria) (14:59): As the new minister, you've said, 'Truth telling is important,' but you can't give a straight answer. When will you show some leadership and hold your own government to account for the ongoing slow and sophisticated eradication of our people, our children and our culture, or will you just continue to use the approved talking points that protect your colonial masters? The PRESIDENT: Thank you, Senator Thorpe. Minister McCarthy. Senator Ciccone interjecting— The PRESIDENT: Order, Senator Ciccone! Senator Thorpe is entitled to ask a question. You may not agree with it, but she is entitled to, like every senator in this place, and you will listen in respectful silence.
