Mr SHORTEN (Maribyrnong—Leader of the Opposition) (15:05): My question is to the Prime Minister. Liberal senators Cory Bernardi and Dean Smith are cosponsoring a private senator's bill that will give the green light to racist hate speech. In plain English, will the Prime Minister commit, here and now, unambiguously— Mr Hutchinson interjecting — The SPEAKER: The member for Lyons will desist. Mr SHORTEN: to join with Labor and vote against this divisive legislation?
