Warren Truss (Wide Bay, National Party, Leader of the Nationals) Share this | Hansard source

I thank the honourable member for his question. What I can do is repeat the assurance given by the Prime Minister on a number of occasions that the government does not propose to proceed with changes to section 18C. That commitment remains in place, and that demonstrates our wish to encourage all Australians to live in tolerance with one another. We need to respect one another's views. We need to acknowledge that there are people in this country who have different views from others, and that should be respected also—and some of those may not necessarily be mainstream views. But the government does not propose to change section 18C.
