Senator WATT (Queensland—Minister for the Environment and Water) (14:42): Australians can certainly trust that this government will operate in line with Australian laws. We'll take the toughest possible action that we can under laws that are constitutional. Senator Hanson talks a bit about dishonesty.

I reckon what's dishonest is telling battlers that you're standing up for them and coming in and voting against wage rises. I reckon what's dishonest is saying we need more homes and blaming migrants for housing issues and then voting against more housing. I think that's dishonest.

I think that what's dishonest is telling battlers that you're standing up for their health care and voting against a government that passes laws to provide more health care. That's what dishonesty is. That's what One Nation are.

They are fundamentally dishonest when it comes to standing up for Australian battlers. They say they do one thing, they come down here and they vote with the Liberals, and that's because they are effectively the same. We know that One Nation can only enter government in partnership with the Liberals, we know that the Liberals can only enter government in partnership with One Nation, and that would be a disaster for working people and the people One Nation claims to represent.
