Does the minister acknowledge that One Nation’s policies on multiculturalism and anti-racism are in direct contradiction to his Government’s policies? Mr JOHNSON

AnswerView source ↗

I have not seen One Nation’s policies. Dr Gallop: Where have you been for the past three years? You are supposed to be the minister responsible for this issue! Mr JOHNSON: If the leader is referring to One Nation’s policies from years gone by, I have forgotten them. Dr Gallop: Have they changed? Mr JOHNSON: I do not know. If the leader has seen the party’s latest policies, that is fine. The Government is interested only in its policies, which are very positive, anti-discriminatory and anti-racist.
