These fools think hate crimes is a national crisis. What about the de-industrialisation and bankrupting of Australia through renewables? Or more than 100,000 deaths from Covid vaxxes?
From Senator Roberts’ office
ON did abstain from the final vote, we voted in support of a motion which would remove the guillotine so that the debate could be extended, and in support of an amendment that would clarify it only applied to physical violence.
After that it was clear there was nothing further that could be done with Greens, Liberal and Labor teaming up to pass it as you saw.
Senator Roberts does feel compelled to address that Senator Rennick released a video which received hundreds of thousands of views where he said “the two major parties with support form One Nation have actually voted for the Hate Crimes Bill”
This is blatantly untrue and despite shifting the goal posts later, the video with that quote is still up and circulating to many more people.
It’s unfortunate that many of the people who are arguing for the minor parties to work together have seized on a simple abstention to try and pretend that there is some massive betrayal or change of principle on what was a piece of legislation passed through on a guillotine by the three other parties in the Senate.
One Nation’s position on free speech hasn’t changed. In July we proposed an inquiry into incorporating free speech into the constitution and Senator Hanson’s legal appeal against the 18C finding is still ongoing.
Hope this clarifies – let me know if anything further is of assistance.
