<p class="speaker">Sue Lines</p><p>Leave is granted for one minute.</p> <p class="speaker">Malcolm Roberts</p><p>Unless it's amended, I will not be supporting this motion. Senator Green has decided to finish the year with a motion about extremism, notably only right-wing. Does her omission of the opera house Hamas rally that called for Jews to be gassed mean the senator is endorsing that call? Does her omission of environmental extremism that terrorised a female executive in her home mean the senator is endorsing that? Apparently so.</p><p>All terrorism is to be denounced. One Nation denounces the National Socialist party, the Nazis, who killed an estimated 20 million people. One Nation denounces communist Soviet Russia and the Stalin regime that killed an estimated 40 million people. We denounce communist China's Chairman Mao, who killed 60 million people. We denounce Maurice Strong, Executive Director of the United Nations Environment Program, whose unscientific ban on DDT caused the unnecessary deaths of 60 million people from malaria between 1976 and 2006. In this place terrorism and extremism should be dealt with in a bipartisan way.</p> <p class="speaker">Ralph Babet</p><p>I seek leave to make a short, one-minute, statement as well.</p><p>Leave not granted.</p> <p class="speaker">Sue Lines</p><p>The question is that the amendment as moved by Senator McGrath to business of the Senate notice of motion No. 4 be agreed to.</p><p></p> -
