On a point of order, it is really important that in this House, when we discuss issues, we do so in an accurate and objective way. It is misrepresenting the situation to suggest that taking a health-led approach is soft on drugs, and that is exactly what the Senator said.

What else is it?

It is not a soft-----

That is a matter of opinion.

It is not. It is objectively not.

You are not allowed have certain opinions these days. This is woke culture in action now-----

Senator-----

-----closing down the opposing point of view.

Senators-----

It is not. It is inviting the Senator to engage in informed debate-----

I will come before the committee if you invite me.

-----to actually progress the debate and to progress the issue.

The Leader is responding on the Order of Business and I am sure will facilitate-----

It is a really serious issue-----

Too right it is.

-----that merits-----

I did not raise this for the good of my health. I raised it for the good of other people's health.

I am confident the Senator has the capacity to engage in this debate in an informed way.

Thank you.

The Leader, I am sure, will facilitate a debate.

I invite him to do that-----

Bring me before the committee.

-----and to retract his comments which are so ill-informed and ignorant.

Please, Senators. Can we allow the Leader to respond on the Order of Business?

Apologies. I look forward to that invitation.
