Senator ABETZ (Tasmania—Leader of the Government in the Senate, Minister Assisting the Prime Minister for the Public Service and Minister for Employment) (14:58): I think the Australian people fully recognise that the ABC can make some savings, without the need to cut programs. Just one example: for the broadcasting of the Asian Cup, SBS put in a bid for three-quarters of a million dollars that they could have completely recouped with advertising dollars. What did the ABC do? It came along and put in a bid of one and a half million dollars and no money to be recouped—a $1.5 million expense to the Australian taxpayer. Senator Moore: Mr President, I rise on a point of order on direct relevance to the two questions asked. One was about the Prime Minister's promise about cutting, and the second one was about the cuts to jobs and public broadcasting services in regional communities. The minister has not moved on those two questions. The PRESIDENT: The minister is addressing the question. He has 24 seconds left. He has finished his answer? Senator ABETZ: I have finished my answer.
