Senator BRANDIS (Queensland—Deputy Leader of the Government in the Senate, Vice-President of the Executive Council, Minister for Arts and Attorney-General) (14:14): Senator Wong, you do speculate a lot and erroneously about process. It is rather—I am bound to say—like hearing Satan denouncing sin to be lectured by you about proper cabinet process. Senator Wong: Mr President, on a point of order: do you think, Mr President, that making an allusion to Satan is parliamentary? Come on. The PRESIDENT: I do not think that is unparliamentarily, but I will advise the minister and remind the minister of the question. Senator BRANDIS: If it hurts your feelings, I withdraw it. Senator Wong, we have been witnessing with fascination on the ABC for the last two Tuesday nights what proper cabinet process was for the government of which you were a member—a litany of chaos and dysfunction that went on for six years. The Abbott government, by contrast— Senator Wong: Mr President, I rise on a point of order. I asked one question: can the minister confirm that the plan to strip Australian citizens of their citizenship was not made on the basis of a full cabinet submission, including legal advice? That is the only question I asked. I ask that you request that the minister return to the question and be relevant. The PRESIDENT: I will remind the minister of the question. He has one minute and 25 seconds in which to answer it. Senator BRANDIS: I was about to say, unlike the chaos and dysfunction which characterised the cabinet of which Senator Wong was a member, all decisions by the Abbott government are made through an orthodox and proper cabinet process—every single decision. Since you raised the matter about what we propose to do about dual citizens who are engaged in terrorist conduct, yes, you are right, Senator Wong. As the Prime Minister has announced, we will be introducing legislation next week to strip dual citizens of their citizenship in circumstances in which they are engaged in terrorism. We look to the Labor Party, from whom we have had uncertain signals, to support us. We look to the Labor Party to support us because this ought to be bipartisan. Australian governments and opposition parties ought to join together to take all appropriate measures to keep Australians safe. Rather than playing politics with national security, Senator Wong, rather than engaging in ill-informed and erroneous questions about process, get behind the objective.
