MOTIONS

Senator HANSON (Queensland—Leader of One Nation) (12:23): It's quite interesting listening to Senator McKim's comments. I want to put on the record that One Nation does support this motion. As we've seen in the chamber before, Senator McKim's only drawn our attention to provision (c), which he cannot support.

If he really wanted to, he could split the vote, take provision (c) out of it and vote for the rest—if the Greens really believe that this is an injustice to the people out there. I don't believe what the Greens have said here at all, although Senator McKim might want to change his mind and take provision (c) out of it, and we can have a vote on it. That might be an answer to it.

Another point is that we've constantly seen in this chamber, time and time again, legislation being put through that has been guillotined and that has not been debated. Many times we've seen the government's legislation. We've had numerous amendments to their own legislation because they've never consulted properly with the community and the Australian people about their bills, and they've put them forward in this chamber.

They rush their legislation through all the time. Look at what happened with this widow's tax on capital gains and what they're doing here. They knew that was an issue.

They knew it when they brought their bill onto the floor of parliament, yet they did nothing to address the issue and make changes to it, bring amendments to it, at that time. I listened to the minister say that it's now going to be a 10-day consultation period. That consultation period should have happened before the legislation came here to the floor of parliament.

That should have been done. It absolutely disgusts me that you call out to say that we don't support women's issues or funding to women's sports. You call out women when it suits you.

Where is the issue of transgender men in women's sports? You don't want anything to do with it. You call out women when it suits your agenda—not right across the board with everyone.

This needs to change. This was only a tax grab by the government, which is failing to control its own spending. You have been out of control with it.

This is a $77 billion tax grab by the Labor government—that's what it is—on ordinary Australians. It's a load of rubbish to say that you're catching the billionaires out there who are making a lot of money out of capital gains tax. A lot of the investments that are made in this country are made by small business.

That's a big investment. They build up their businesses. They put in a lot of hard work that they don't get paid for.

They're going to sell it at a cost, and you're going to take it off them. You want their benefits taken from them or for them to pay extra tax. A lot of the young people want to get into negative gearing and capital gains tax to buy their properties, and you're actually denying them.

You say that you've allowed more Australians—the younger generation—to get into owning their own homes. What a bloody farce that is! That is ridiculous.

It's not the case. We've found that more of them now are out of reach of owning their own home because of this government and the laws and legislation that you have imposed here. It's a tax grab by an incompetent government that can't control its own spending.

You constantly put your hand in the pockets of ordinary Australians who are trying to survive, make a living for themselves out there and own homes. If you don't have those investors, you won't have rental accommodations. That's what it's about.

Can I give you some advice? Forget about a tax grab off people. Cut back your immigration into this country.

That might help. Then we might have housing for the Australian people and families in homes, instead of them being homeless on our streets here. But you can't even admit that.

You keep saying you're going to pull back, but no-one trusts you anymore. People are sick and tired of your lies. You're constantly lying about what you're going to do, and you never do it.

You're constantly accusing One Nation of not supporting your policies, whether it's in housing or whatever. Let me tell the public this: your policies have hidden agendas which we cannot support because they're lying to and cheating the Australian people. Put up good legislation and One Nation will back it.

Put up legislation that's denying the Australian people—lying and cheating and trying to take what you can off them—and we won't support that. You've been hopeless in government. You cannot put up decent legislation.

You're ruining this country day in, day out with your policies. You're driving people into the ground out there. They can't afford to live anymore.

Their standard of living has dropped. Their way of life has dropped. I hope they throw you out on your ear at the next election.
