QUESTIONS WITHOUT NOTICE

Senator WATT (Queensland—Minister for the Environment and Water) (14:44): Thanks, Senator Hanson. Just before answering this question, I'll just pick up on what you said before when I pointed out that your party, Pauline Hanson's One Nation party, voted against our legislation to enable the deportation of hate preachers. I know you're sensitive about that.

Senator WATT: Senator Hanson, I know you're very sensitive when your hypocrisy is pointed out in here. You've pointed out that there were other aspects of that legislation that you did not support. I can only assume that that was the measures we imposed to crack down on Neo-Nazis, because that was one of the central aspects of that legislation that was involved as well.

Was that the bit you didn't like? You didn't like deporting hate preachers. You say it was because of other issues.

Was that because you had problems cracking down on Neo-Nazis? I can't see any other reason why you would have voted against that legislation. Even the Liberal and National parties voted with us to make it easier to deport hate preachers, and yet you have the hide to come in here and ask questions about taking more action against hate preachers.

You're a hypocrite.
