QUESTIONS WITHOUT NOTICE

Senator WONG (South Australia—Minister for Foreign Affairs and Leader of the Government in the Senate) (14:08): Well, as I said, Labor's digital duty of care is about Australians controlling their algorithms, not big tech. What stands in the way are the Liberals and Nationals being led by the nose by One Nation. Now, just 13 days ago, Senator Henderson—who's busy interjecting on me—demanded 'much stronger safeguards across the digital ecosystem', declaring: Nothing should be off the table, including… the option to permanently opt out of algorithm-driven recommendations.

Her convictions didn't even last two weeks. This is 'a senator of conviction', but two weeks and she folds, because she's worried about the way One Nation is going. Now she's parroting and she's done it again here today, President.

Our safety bill is a 'threat to free speech'. What changed in 13 days? You know what changed?

One Nation cried 'free speech', and you crumbled. You have no conviction whatsoever. (Time expired)
