00:01Amidst the carnage, a moment that can only be described as pure heroism.
00:06Is this what you wanted?
00:07Well?
00:10Prime Minister.
00:11Alex, what you did was incredible.
00:14I want women like you on my team.
00:18Reluctant national hero Alexandra Irving has been sworn in today as a senator for Queensland.
00:23Inspire choice or a desperate publicity stunt?
00:26The party has lost its way.
00:29The Senate sits tomorrow and every vote will be crucial.
00:32This is your opportunity to get a lot more than a medical centre.
00:36Look, the Prime Minister had to cut a deal.
00:39You and your community were just collateral.
00:43They just want to pet Aborigine.
00:46Is that who you are?
00:48Every day of my life I feel like I'm constantly under threat.
00:51I am sick and tired of pretending that everything is okay.
00:56My name is Alex Irving.
00:58And I'm standing here before you in the Senate of Australia.
01:02I thought this place wasn't for someone like me.
01:05But if I'm here, that means any one of us could be here.
01:10They saw your interview.
01:11They think it might be a threat.
01:13You're on the wrong side, Alex.
01:14I'm prepared to jump ship.
01:16But on my terms.
01:18Not yours.
01:19Don't you ever pull a stunt like that on me again.
01:23Mum, what she'd say.
01:24You gotta watch that temper of yours, girl.
01:27It'll make big trouble one day.
01:35Hi, I'm Senator Alex Irving.
01:36Senator?
01:37Yeah, we come in a range of colours.
01:39And that's what she was doing...
01:39There's only one of us.
01:40You're getting to know what happens.
01:40What else needs to be of us?
01:42What else needs to be of us?
01:53You're getting to know what's the product's worth.
