Thank you very much Deputy Speaker
I rise to oppose the motion
Moved by the
Leader of the Opposition
Doesn’t apologise for the things that
Come out of his own mouth
Now seeks to use this as a battering ram
Against someone else
I will not be lectured by this man
Not now, not ever
We are entitled to a better standard than this
The Leader of the Opposition
Says that those who hold sexist views
Are not appropriate
For high office
If he doesn’t know what misogyny looks like
In modern Australia
He doesn’t need a motion
He needs a mirror
I will not be lectured by this man
Not now, not ever
We are entitled to a better standard than this
He could change a standard himself if he sought to do so. But we will see none of that from the Leader of the Opposition because on these questions he is incapable of change. Capable of double standards, but incapable of change. His double standards should not rule this Parliament.

Good sense, common sense, proper process is what should rule this Parliament. That's what I believe is the path forward for this Parliament, not the kind of double standards and political game-playing imposed by the Leader of the Opposition now looking at his watch because apparently a woman's spoken too long.
