Senator ABETZ (Tasmania—Leader of the Government in the Senate, Minister Assisting the Prime Minister for the Public Service and Minister for Employment) (14:21): The Prime Minister is, as I understand it, completely correct when he says that about 80 per cent of our budget measures have passed the Senate. I also understand that my good friend and colleague, who I understand did an exceptionally good job in my absence yesterday, said that this was a house of review. And, of course, I would agree with him, and I think that is what our Constitution and our forefathers had in mind in relation to this place. The PRESIDENT: Pause the clock. Senator Dastyari: Mr President, I raise a point of order on relevance. I think the minister did not hear the comment, the quote, because the quote was 'house of refusal'. It was the 'house of refusal', not the house of review. The PRESIDENT: I can confirm that that is what Senator Dastyari had in his question, but the minister was still answering the question. Senator ABETZ: Mr President, Senator Dastyari yet again unwittingly makes my point—but I will not withdraw on this occasion. What Senator Brandis said to the Senate was that this is a house of review—a house of review, not a house of refusal—and I would have thought that everybody around this chamber might actually agree with that, which is so self-evident.
