My question is again to the Acting Prime Minister. Just now the Acting Prime Minister ruled out the government moving legislation giving the green light to racist hate speech, but he failed to rule out whether Liberal or National senators will vote for Senator Bernardi's legislation—legislation that will give the green light to racist hate speech. In plain English, will the Acting Prime Minister commit to joining with Labor and vote against this destructive and divisive legislation—yes or no?
