MOTIONS

Senator SHOEBRIDGE (New South Wales) (12:46): Well, this is the One Nation dog whistle, isn't it? They come in here, proposing legislation they know is unconstitutional. It's got about as much chance of surviving a constitutional challenge as a paper kite in a bushfire.

That's what they're proposing with this legislation. They even say it. They come and say, 'Let it go to the courts; we don't have to worry about constitutionality.' Senator Hanson tried to go to Syria on a Channel 7 funded trip.

She tried to go there, but it was all too hard. Well, I'll tell you what. I've been to north-east Syria, and I've spoken to the people who fought and defeated ISIS.

I've spoken to those brave women fighters who fought and defeated ISIS, and they don't support what Senator Hanson is doing. The ACTING DEPUTY PRESIDENT ( Senator Hodgins-May ): Senator Shoebridge, please take your seat. Senator Hanson.

Senator Hanson: I want that comment withdrawn because there's no truth in it whatsoever. The ACTING DEPUTY PRESIDENT: Sorry, which comment? Senator Hanson: What was just said about Syria.

I want that comment withdrawn. There is no truth in it whatsoever. The ACTING DEPUTY PRESIDENT: Senator Hanson, it's a debating point, so please take your seat.

Senator SHOEBRIDGE: It might be inconvenient for Senator Hanson to know that the people who fought and defeated ISIS, the brave women fighters who fought and defeated ISIS—whom I've met; Senator Hanson hasn't—want this country to support a pathway to justice. They want us to support the International Criminal Court. They want us to cooperate with international tribunals.

They want us to find a pathway so that the people who fought for ISIS can actually be held to account. They don't support this kind of dog whistle. They don't support this non-answer.

They want us to actually back in and find a pathway to justice. They have no interest in some unconstitutional kite flying from One Nation. They want a solution where people are held to account for justice.

You have no interest in justice. You want to blow your dog whistle. You want to pretend that you're doing this.

The Greens want a pathway to justice. Do you know how you do that? You back in international tribunals.

You back in the International Criminal Court and all the things that One Nation comes in here and opposes day after day after day. We want justice. That's why we won't support your rubbish.
