Senator HANSON (Queensland—Leader of One Nation) (11:08): One Nation does support Senator Cash's motion. I was just gobsmacked to hear the Leader of the Government in the Senate, Senator Wong, get up and say she was absolutely appalled by this stunt. This amendment—I will put on record what is in here—'congratulates the United States of America and the State of Israel for their sustained efforts to prevent the Islamic Republic of Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon' and welcomes the death of Ayatollah Khamenei, a brutal dictator who oppressed the Iranian people for decades. It goes on to condemn the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, the IRGC, 'for its sponsorship of terrorism globally, including its role in orchestrating antisemitic attacks targeting Jewish Australians on Australian soil, acts which represent a direct attack on our social cohesion and national security'; deplore 'the recent attacks by Iran on civilian infrastructure in Qatar, Kuwait, Bahrain and the United Arab Emirates, including the suspension of operations at Dubai's major airports due to regional hostilities'; and express 'strong support for the Iranian people in their ongoing struggle against the IRGC'. I don't call it a stunt to raise this, in light of what happened over the weekend. Also, I hear the Greens' and Senator Shoebridge's comments that they're not for war. There's not one senator in this place that would support war, but it is very important that we defend countries for their democracy and for the freedom of their people. It's quite amazing; they want their allies, but if war ever touched Australian shores—if any case of war were to happen in our country—wouldn't they be screaming and crying out for people around the world to support us? On the one hand we don't want war, but what would happen if it ever were to happen in Australia? I want to say that to call it a stunt— Senator Roberts: Acting Deputy President Sharma, I wish to lodge a complaint here. Senator Thorpe is quietly saying, 'You're lying. You're lying,' repeatedly as Senator Hanson talks. It's more than anyone can bear, although Senator Hanson has done very well. Can you ask her to stop? The ACTING DEPUTY PRESIDENT ( Senator Sharma ): Senator Roberts, your point of order is interjections; is that correct? Senator Roberts: Yes. The ACTING DEPUTY PRESIDENT: Thank you. I ask senators to listen respectfully to the speaker, and in silence. Senator Hanson. Senator HANSON: Thank you very much. I think what's happened here is that Senator Wong and the Labor Party have been caught with their pants down. They've been usurped by this motion of the Liberal Party, which is bringing it to the attention of the Senate. We've had an attack on Iran, and to say that it's about the people over there—this is a country that for 47 years has been under the attack of a radical Islamic dictatorship, where people were controlled. Again, I'll go back to the Greens worrying about the women and the children murdered. I never heard one word out of them when the attack on Israel happened, where 1,200 people were murdered, slaughtered and taken as hostages. There was not one word about compassion. Let's just disregard that. When I turned on my television, I saw the Iranian people, not only in Iran but throughout Australia, flying the flag of jubilation and dancing in the streets, happy. That tells you how they feel about this attack. They're not the ones who are objecting to this. They know there has to be hurt and pain if they want to get out of 47 years of control. Their lives have been controlled. You talk about women. What's happened over there? If you were a woman and you took off your hijab or you didn't cover up, you actually got a flogging, you got fined $15,000 or you got imprisoned, and some lost their lives. That's what they've been fighting for. The protests and the lives lost in this past four to five weeks have been deplorable. I congratulate Senator Trump and the United States. They have now given the people back their freedom and liberty. I congratulate Netanyahu, who is part of this. Senator Thorpe: Of course you would! Senator HANSON: He has stopped this, giving democracy back to the people of Iran. The other big factor here is the nuclear weapons. If Iran got nuclear weapons, there would be an outcry by the whole world. There is no way that could be allowed to happen. So I do support this motion. I will not be supporting the Shoebridge amendment at all and what it calls for. Senator Thorpe: And Trump isn't a senator. You called him Senator Trump. What planet are you on? Senator HANSON: I will just say congratulations to the Liberal Party in bringing this forward. I think it's very important. I want the people of Australia to know what is in this motion and why the Labor Party couldn't support it. Why couldn't you support it? You can't tell me that each and every one of you agrees with not supporting this. This is where it's just follow the leader. There's no independent freethinking from the Labor Party whatsoever. You just follow the leader. You've done it time and time again. The Voice was another one. You just follow the leader. Where's your representation of the Australian people? Where's your representation of the Iranian people out there who are joyous about what's happened in their country. You've done nothing. Those Iranian people are standing in your country. It's unbelievable. Senator Hanson-Young: What have you ever done for the Iranian women in detention in Australia? The ACTING DEPUTY PRESIDENT: Order! I ask that senators listen to other senators in silence and respectfully. Every senator will have an opportunity to speak. Senator HANSON: This is your whole attitude. This is the Greens' attitude, right? The Greens are the most un-Australian people here in this Senate. They are the most un-Australian people, who do not fight for this country, our flag or our patriotism—nothing. Senator Thorpe: Sit down. Senator HANSON: This is what I hear all the time, and that's another one. I'll keep going. So immature you are! You have no idea what's going on. So immature! I wish you would actually start fighting for the Australian people. They're here listening to you. They want some representation here from this parliament. The ACTING DEPUTY PRESIDENT: Senator Hanson, please direct your remarks through the chair. Senator HANSON: Anyway, I think I've said everything. Congratulations, Senator Cash. The ACTING DEPUTY PRESIDENT: Before Senator Waters starts, could I ask that other senators listen respectfully to each other's contributions.
