Senate Australian Parliament
00:00 - 00:58
Speaker 3
Now I thought he was joking, but it's not funny. I don't think he was joking at all. Now in 2024, we moved an urgency motion in this place which sought to affirm that parental responsibility rests with, guess who, parents, not the freaking federal government. Only seven senators supported it. Only seven.
Seven out of 76, just think about that. Now this, this Senate, it overwhelmingly refused to affirm that parents should be responsible for their own children. You know what parents, your kids, they do not belong to the state. You should set the boundaries. You should make the decisions.
And when government policy fails, the answer is never more surveillance, more coercion, and more power for these Canberra unelected bureaucrats. The answer is really simple: empower parents, put parents back in charge, that's it, get government out of our lives, we are all sick of this crap.

Acting Deputy President, well Tasmania is less than 1% of Australia's landmass and home to barely 2% of its people. But our size has never set the limit on what we can build. A few weeks ago, the world's largest battery electric ship began its journey from Tasmania to South America. And this extraordinary vessel wasn't built in Rotterdam, Singapore, or Shanghai, it was built in Hobart. Built by Incat on the banks of the River Derwent, Hull 096 is 130 meters long and carries 2,100 passengers and 225 vehicles.
