A right-wing senator's speech thanking 'young brown men' for delivering his groceries, pizzas and online purchases has been slammed as 'condescending'. The Liberal Democrats David Leyonhjelm took to the Senate on Tuesday night where he praised the men for 'not whinging about a brown pay gap'. He said he wanted to use the speech to give thanks to 'a group of Australians who may be ignored or worse but who make a great contribution' to the nation. 'The young brown men I come across in my day-to-day life are often in low-paid jobs. They drive me in their Ubers (stock image bottom right) and taxis. They deliver my online purchases, my groceries and my pizza. They serve me at my local 7-Eleven (stock image top right), at my local service station and at my local restaurants.'
