Senator CONROY (Victoria—Leader of the Government in the Senate, Minister for Broadband, Communications and the Digital Economy and Minister Assisting the Prime Minister on Digital Productivity) (14:17): To claim that the government is pursuing an anti-free-speech agenda is such rank hypocrisy. Yesterday we had a debate and discussion as part of question time— Senator Brandis interjecting— Senator CONROY: Yeah, just like David Cameron, another hater of free speech! Just like David Cameron, a Conservative Prime Minister, underpinning his legislative press council. Senator Brandis: Mr President, I rise on a point of order. The minister was asked about his legislation, now abandoned. It is not directly relevant to that question to be lecturing the Senate about what the United Kingdom government might be doing with unrelated legislation. The PRESIDENT: The minister is addressing the question. The minister did take an interjection. The interjections are disorderly. I remind the minister to ignore interjections. The minister still has 31 seconds remaining to answer the question. Senator CONROY: Those opposite actually support contracts which gag not-for-profit agencies. Put up your hands and say you will not do it. Put up your hands and stop the gagging of legitimate not-for-profit agencies. These new protections build on the government's reforms— Senator Brandis: You're trying to gag the newspapers, Stephen! Senator CONROY: Yep—David Cameron and me! These new protections build on the government's reforms to 85 Commonwealth acts. (Time expired)
