Crimes Amendment (Prohibiting the Strip Searching of Children) Bill 2026, Crimes Amendment (Prohibiting Shackling During Childbirth) Bill 2026

Senator ALLMAN-PAYNE (Queensland) (10:42): I rise to continue speaking to the Crimes Amendment (Prohibiting the Strip Searching of Children) Bill 2026 and the Crimes Amendment (Prohibiting Shackling During Childbirth) Bill 2026, both of which the coalition and Labor just refused to allow to go to a vote. Shame on you! You don't even have the courage to put on the record that you support stripsearching children and shackling women.

If you didn't, you'd be on this side of the chamber. Shame!
