Senator BRANDIS (Queensland—Deputy Leader of the Government in the Senate, Vice-President of the Executive Council, Minister for Arts and Attorney-General) (14:31): I am concerned to defend the rights of everyone. I am concerned to defend the rights of everyone, because every citizen of this land, whether you like their views or not, has human rights, Senator Peris. Do you dispute that everyone in this land has human rights, everyone enjoys fundamental freedoms— Honourable senators interjecting— The PRESIDENT: Senator Brandis, you are entitled to be heard in silence. Order! If you wish to debate this you can debate it after three o'clock this afternoon. Senator BRANDIS: I will take Senator Conroy's interjection about the right not to be vilified. In the government's view there is a right not to be vilified, but that right is not recognised in the Racial Discrimination Act, now. It was not recognised when the Labor government before last inserted these provisions into the Racial Discrimination Act in 1995 but that right, Senator Conroy, of which you speak—the right not to be vilified—will be recognised by these reforms.
