Senator THORPE (Victoria—Independent VIC Whip) (13:29): I've only got a minute to do this speech, but it's very disappointing to see some so-called senators who represent the absolute filth of this country—the racists out there. We know racism contributes to incarceration rates, contributes to ill health and contributes to so much hurt and division in this country because of the racist words that come out of Pauline Hanson's mouth— The PRESIDENT: Order! Senator Thorpe, withdraw. Senator THORPE: What for? The PRESIDENT: You know that the standing orders say that you cannot reflect on the views of another senator. So I'm asking you to withdraw. Please withdraw. Senator THORPE: I'm saying what comes out of her mouth— The PRESIDENT: Senator Thorpe! Senator THORPE: I say that—we all say that about each other. The PRESIDENT: Senator Thorpe, in this chamber— Senator THORPE: Why can't you deal with the racism in this chamber, President? The PRESIDENT: Senator Thorpe, you're not in a debate— Senator THORPE: What are you doing about the racism in this chamber, President? The PRESIDENT: Senator Thorpe, unless you withdraw, I will withdraw the call from you. Senator THORPE: Of course you would. The Closing the Gap speech—you would do that, wouldn't you? The PRESIDENT: Senator Thorpe, I've asked you to withdraw. Senator THORPE: I withdraw. The PRESIDENT: Thank you very much, Senator Thorpe. The time for the debate has expired. The question is that the motion as moved by Senator McCarthy be agreed to. Senator Thorpe: Hang on! There are still more speeches to be done. Hanson here took up the rest of her time. Do your job! You're not calling a vote! The PRESIDENT: Senator Thorpe, resume your seat! I am informed that we will come back to this debate. But you will recall that this morning we allowed two hours for it, and Senator McCarthy started the debate by moving the motion. We are at two-minute statements.
