QUESTIONS WITHOUT NOTICE

Senator WONG (South Australia—Minister for Foreign Affairs and Leader of the Government in the Senate) (14:11): This side of the chamber has heard the calls from the community to act and to act now, and it is up to all of us. In 2021, the passage of the Online Safety Bill occurred because both sides of parliament worked together. In 2024, even Peter Dutton—even Peter Dutton—stood up to work with the government to tackle the scourge of social media.

Senator Henderson just last month said that what we needed to do is to give young people— Senator Henderson interjecting— Senator WONG: listen to your words, Senator Henderson—and all Australians greater choice as to what they see online. Here's another quote for you, Senator Henderson: If you are focused on online safety for children, why are you trying to stop this bill coming into law?

That's what Senator Henderson said. Senator Henderson interjecting— Senator WONG: The courage of your convictions! Thirteen days and you changed, because One Nation changed.

Don't you ever come here and talk to us about the politics of conviction, because you have none! Opposition senators interjecting— The PRESIDENT: Order! Senators McKenzie, Henderson and Nampijinpa Price, one of your very own frontbenchers was on her feet, waiting to ask her question, but the three of you were so busy interjecting, being rude and disorderly, that you didn't even notice.

I don't know what it takes for me to keep you quiet. I would have thought one of your own senators standing might have actually rung a bell.
