Senator WONG (South Australia—Leader of the Opposition in the Senate) (14:04): Mr President, I rise to ask a final supplementary question. I refer the minister to comments by the person he described as a 'very fine man', Mr Marshall, who said that the comments by the minister were nothing short of deplorable and described his position as 'untenable'. If the Defence minister has lost the confidence of the Prime Minister— Opposition senators interjecting— The PRESIDENT: Pause the clock. Senator Wong, wait until we have silence behind you. Senator WONG: Thank you, Mr President. If the Defence minister has lost the confidence of the Prime Minister, his cabinet colleagues and the South Australian Liberal leader, how can he continue in his role? Government senators interjecting— The PRESIDENT: Order on my right.
