Turnbull must condemn hate speech
UPDATE: The Senate has just voted to condemn George Christensen for attending the Q Society's fundraiser! The motion calls on Malcolm Turnbull to condemn Christensen's behaviour and refers to Pauline Hanson being expelled from the Liberal party when her views were seen as too extreme.
The pressure is mounting – help tip this over the edge!

"I can't stand Muslims…[but] they are not all bad, they do chuck pillow-biters off buildings."
This was said at an extreme-right fundraising dinner in Sydney last Thursday. The following night, Federal MP George Christensen headlined the same event in Melbourne.
The far-right of the Coalition seems so desperate to import Trump-style racism and division to our country that they are now actively fundraising for organisations that espouse hateful and violent rhetoric.
The standard we walk past is the standard we accept. And right now, Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull must show us this is unacceptable behaviour for members of his Government.
We need to make it clear that this kind of behaviour will not be tolerated - and demand action from the Prime Minister.

TURNBULL, CONDEMN MPS FUNDRAISING FOR HATE GROUPS
Malcolm Turnbull must condemn Coalition MP George Christensen’s attendance at a fundraiser for extremist hate group ‘The Q Society’.
A fundraiser by the same group on Thursday night in Sydney was marked by speakers attacking the Muslim community, and joking about the execution of members of the LGBTQI community.
Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull cannot allow such hateful and divisive rhetoric to be supported by Federal MPs.
