CBMK0030 The Liberals, Nationals, Labor, and Greens all had this bill in their hands THREE times.

Let’s kill the lie once and for all.This bill did not appear overnight.It existed before 2025, and it passed with support from Labor, Liberal, Greens, and Nationals.That means every party already had the bill.They had it before the first vote, during the 2025 passage, and after.What just happened was not a new law — it was a wording tweak built on legislation they had already read, debated, and voted for.So the claim that senators were “given the bill on the day” is absolute rubbish.They had time.📌 FACT CHECK FIRST - They had the bill for YEARS before the 20th January 2026Every Senator had a copy of this bill at least a year ago.This legislation was circulated, briefed, and well-known before the vote.Being absent does not mean being unaware.It means letting it pass without stopping it.🔵 Liberal Party — Voting Record on the Hate Speech Bill✅ VOTED YESWendy Askew (TAS)Andrew Bragg (NSW)Michaelia Cash (WA)Claire Chandler (TAS)Sarah Henderson (VIC)Linda Reynolds (WA)Paul Scarr (QLD)Dave Sharma (NSW)🚫 ABSENT (Let the bill pass anyway)Andrew McLachlan (SA)Leah Blyth (SA)Slade Brockman (WA)Richard Colbeck (TAS)Jonathon Duniam (TAS)David Fawcett (SA)Hollie Hughes (NSW)Jane Hume (VIC)Maria Kovacic (NSW)Kerrynne Liddle (SA)Matt O’Sullivan (WA)James Paterson (VIC)Anne Ruston (SA)Dean Smith (WA)❗ WHAT THIS ACTUALLY MEANSThe Liberal Party had the bill.The Liberal Party knew the bill.Some voted YES.The rest stayed ABSENT — which helped it pass.👉 Absence is not neutrality. It’s consent.This voting pattern shows the Liberals were never meaningfully opposed.They either backed it openly — or stepped aside quietly.ONE LINE FOR YOUR AUDIENCE“They all had the bill. Some voted yes. The rest didn’t bother turning up — and that tells you everything.”Andrew Hastie, the Liberals, Nationals, Labor, and Greens all had this bill THREE times.• 2024 — first draft• February 2025 — voted on it• 20 January 2026 — final passageSo the story that they “only got the bill on the day” is absolute nonsense.This legislation was already passed last year, with the consent of every major party.Nothing about this was rushed.Nothing about this was accidental.If they’re pretending they didn’t know — that should tell you everything.Support the showFollow Code Black with Madison King www.linktr.eee https://linktr.ee/codeblackMK?
