MOTIONS

Senator THORPE (Victoria—Independent VIC Whip) (13:54): (In division) Does this mean you support the Neo-Nazis? The PRESIDENT: Senator Thorpe, order! Senator Thorpe: Is this what this means?

The PRESIDENT: Senator Thorpe! Senator Thorpe: You're a bunch of racists? The PRESIDENT: Senator Thorpe!

Order! Senator Thorpe: You're a bunch of racists! You are the problem here in this country.

You are— The PRESIDENT: Stop the count. Senator Thorpe, you will come to order when I require it. Senator Thorpe interjecting— The PRESIDENT: Order!

That is unnecessary! Senator Thorpe! Senator Thorpe interjecting— The PRESIDENT: Senator Thorpe!

Stop the count. Senator McKenzie interjecting— The PRESIDENT: Order, Senator McKenzie! I would ask that you respect the chair.

When I call for order, that's exactly what I expect. I'm now dealing with Senator McAllister's amendment to Senator Faruqi's motion. The question is that the amendment be agreed to.

Senator Roberts?
