  • Black Lives Matter Debate in Senate
    56 SENATE Wednesday, 10 June 2020 Question negatived. The PRESIDENT: Senators, that concludes the discovery of formal business but I would urge you to block out some time in your diary for tomorrow afternoon. MATTERS OF PUBLIC IMPORTANCE COVID-19 The PRESIDENT (15:48): A letter has been received from Senator Hanson: Pursuant to standing order 75, I propose that the following matter of public importance be submitted to the Senate for discussion: "Allowing activists to breach Covid-19 restrictions without punishment, even as these same restrictions are devastating jobs, businesses and lives, is a grave insult to all law-abiding Australians." Is the proposal supported? More than the number of senators required by the standing orders having risen in their places— The PRESIDENT: I understand that informal arrangements have been made to allocate specific times to each of the speakers in the debate and, with the concurrence of the Senate, I shall ask the clerks to set the clock accordingly. Senator HANSON (Queensland) (15:49): The matter of public importance I have raised today is based on our state governments, in particular the weak leadership of Queensland Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk, allowing activists to breach COVID-19 restrictions without punishment even as these same restrictions are devastating jobs, businesses and lives. It's a grave insult to all law-abiding Australians. Last weekend we saw tens of thousands of Australians pack city centres across the nation protesting for Black Lives Matter. This protest started in the United States with the unnecessary death of a black American at the hands of police officers.

He says: ‘I first met Adam in 2018, when he visited the school in Indulkana where I live, as part of his work promoting Indigenous literacy. When I saw the documentary The final quarter about Adam’s final season of AFL, my guts were churning as I relived Adam’s experiences of relentless racism on and off the field. Memories of my own experiences were stirred up and I wanted to reach out and reconnect with Adam. ‘We share some similar stories and experiences – of disconnection from culture, language and Country, and the constant pressures of being an Aboriginal man in this country. We’ve also both got young daughters and don’t want them to have to go through those same experiences. ‘When I was younger and growing up in the foster system in Perth, Indigenous footballers were like heroes to me.
