Everybody knows who he is. The unnatural alliance between him and some members of a political party using the same terminology is quite amazing, but one makes one's choices.

Senator Norris raised the matter of the equality legislation and the exception made from its operation. I understand that all churches received exemptions from the equality legislation but that the Educate Together schools, who do a very fine job, are not exempt.

Senator Norris also noted the statement by the President of Iran.
