The newly elected member for Barton says her constituents see a lack of sincerity and a lack of good faith in our political conversations.
The comment comes following continued efforts to amend the Racial Discrimination Act by Liberal senator Corey Bernardi, who is expected to table a motion in parliament today.
The motion will seek to remove the words “insult “and “offend” from section 18C of the RDA in a move that has reportedly claimed support by up to 20 senators.
Wiradjuri woman Linda Burney says racial discrimination is too often alien to those that seek to change the Racial Discrimination Act.
A hipster friend on FB thought this was ironic wrapping paper; alas, it really is the senators trying to scrap 18c. pic.twitter.com/5dmD7UOhhl
