Diversity

 Tom McINTOSH (Eastern Victoria) (10:13): I am actually going to change tack for a minute and support Mr Limbrick’s members statement, because that is absolutely spot-on. The Liberals and the Nationals have been dog whistling for years, and the language we heard yesterday has come exactly from that. We should value and support –

David Davis: On a point of order, President, there was an imputation made about the Liberals and Nationals, which is not true and is also offensive.

The PRESIDENT: It cannot be offensive if it is about a collective –

David Davis interjected.

The PRESIDENT: Well, I cannot ask for it to be withdrawn if it is about a collective.

Tom McINTOSH: I want to put on the record my absolute love for this state, this country and the diversity and everything that it brings for all of us to enjoy.
