SenateWednesday 26 November 2025

QUESTIONS WITHOUT NOTICE

Senator WONG (South Australia—Minister for Foreign Affairs and Leader of the Government in the Senate) (14:42): We are responsible for Australian policy. We speak for Australia. As I have repeatedly said over a couple of decades of public life, and as this government has repeatedly said and, I think, demonstrated by who we are, we are a party that supports our pluralist multicultural nation.

One in two Australians is born overseas or has a parent born overseas. That is who we are, and we will always defend the principles that I have articulated, including yesterday, as has the Prime Minister. The PRESIDENT: Senator Payman, second supplementary?
