Conservative Liberal Senator Cory Bernardi has launched a scathing attack on advocates for abortion, euthanasia, carbon pricing, Sharia, burqas, gay marriage, the ABC and welfare - to name just a few.
In a speech to the Senate on Monday, Senator Bernardi also gave himself a plug as the reason behind Tony Abbott launching his successful run for the prime ministership.
"Peter Van Onselen back in 2010 said `Bernardi was the person who got the ball rolling on Abbott's ambition to become Liberal leader'," he said.
What followed was 19 minutes of championing the viewpoints of "mainstream Australians" from the famously conservative senator, who has previously made headlines after linking same-sex marriage to polygamy and bestiality.
This time Senator Bernardi began by taking credit for launching the coalition's attack campaign against Labor's emissions trading scheme in 2009.
"I was called a dinosaur, a rebel, a denier," he said.
"How dare I question the always accurate eminent wisdom of Al Gore and Tim Flannery."
He said he also sparked discussions on dismissing calls for Sharia law and legal pluralism in Australia, and raising security concerns surrounding face covering garments like the niqab and the burqa.
"People couldn't run away from me fast enough," he said.
"Somehow it's seen as xenophobic that those who choose to come here adjust to our society and embrace our values."
He said he helped expose Baby Bonus payments being paid for abortions.
Then Senator Bernardi turned his attention to advocates for voluntary euthanasia.
"In recent weeks Australia's first euthanasia clinic opened in Adelaide, only a few streets away from where I live," he said.
"Crossing the line to allow legalised killing opens up all types of questions and has dire consequences for us all."
The clinic provides euthanasia advice and information.
Senator Bernardi said it was a similarly slippery slope to that of abortion.
"When legal medical abortion was introduced in the 1960s, did the advocates for abortion foresee the 70,000 to 100,000 unborn children would be killed each year in Australia?" he said.
He accused the ABC of pushing a left-wing agenda and questioned why it was being funded by the taxpayer.
He rounded his speech off by saying he carried a fair bit of scar tissue from his political stance over the past seven years.
"But I am absolutely resolute in my determination to continue to stand for conviction over political convenience in this parliament and beyond," he said.
