Senator ABETZ (Tasmania—Leader of the Government in the Senate, Minister Assisting the Prime Minister for the Public Service and Minister for Employment) (14:04): Whether something is allegedly leaked or not and what was actually— Senator Wong: It was in the paper! It's a direct quote. Senator ABETZ: Senator Wong has shown us now the incredible cerebral prowess that she enjoys. She can read a newspaper and then regurgitate it in the Senate without any basis as to whether it may have any factual basis. I simply say to the honourable senator: I do not spend my waking moments reading newspaper gossip columns and then determining whether it may or may not be right. I spend my waking hours seeking to serve this nation— The PRESIDENT: Pause the clock. Senator Wong, on a point of order. Senator Wong: Mr President, on a point of order: it is all very nice for the minister to give us a homily about his motivation. The actual question was whether or not the Prime Minister believed that his deputy had leaked a private conversation to the media. The PRESIDENT: I allowed the minister to answer the question in the manner in which he wishes to answer. Minister, you are relevant. You have 14 seconds. Senator ABETZ: The Prime Minister, like me, does not spend his waking moments worrying about these things. We worry about creating jobs. We worry about getting rid of the carbon tax. We worry about the Labor Party reintroducing the carbon tax. (Time expired)
