Mr ALBANESE (Grayndler—Prime Minister) (17:15): I rise to add to an answer that I gave earlier today. During question time, I said: Senator Cash tried to up the Barnaby Joyce comment and said, 'if we put the voice into the Constitution … we're effectively announcing an apartheid type state'. Those words were said by another, and Senator Cash agreed with them, but the order of the conversation was as follows. Senator Cash was a guest on the Sky News Bernardi program, hosted by former Liberal senator Cory Bernardi, on 30 April 2023, where Mr Bernardi said: … if we put the voice into the Constitution … we're effectively announcing an apartheid type state … In response to the monologue in which Mr Bernardi made that statement, Senator Cash said, amongst other comments: Cory you summed it up in one, Mr Albanese is asking the Australian people to put in place a constitutional right to make representations for a very small group of people in Australia, less than 4% of the population, to make representations to the Parliament and to the executive on any matter that concerns them. And this is a right that no other Australian will have. She went on to say, later, in the interview: … what is more offensive is asking Australians to divide each other on the basis of race.
