QUESTIONS WITHOUT NOTICE

Senator WATT (Queensland—Minister for the Environment and Water) (14:42): Senator Hanson, if I have any further information to add in answer to your question, I'll provide that. More broadly, I can certainly say that our government does not make any apologies for investing in multicultural communities. We support multicultural communities.

I know that's not the position of the One Nation party, which believes in a monoculture, whatever that is. I don't think anyone's been able to quite work out what that is at this point in time. We support multicultural communities.

As I said in my first answer, we expect organisations that receive government funding to follow guidelines, follow funding agreements and comply with the expectations of Australian taxpayers. Senator WATT: The only other thing I'll say on this matter is that I've seen One Nation's comments about the need to deport hate preachers. There have been suggestions made that there may be a connection between an alleged hate preacher and this pilot.

We all remember that earlier this year there was one party that didn't vote for the legislation to deport hate preachers, and that was Pauline Hanson's One Nation party.
