QUESTIONS WITHOUT NOTICE

Senator RENNICK (Queensland) (14:59): I'm not sure if this is going to breach standing orders as well, but we'll see how we go. The PRESIDENT: I'll let you know! Senator RENNICK: Will the Labor Party consider the comments made by the two nurses in the video from today to be in contravention of federal hate crime laws or just state laws?

And if New South Wales doesn't press charges, would the Labor government recommend or consider that the hate crime laws would apply in this case?
