Senator O'NEILL (New South Wales) (15:15): I refer to commentary by Senator Bernardi, currently funded by taxpayers to be in New York as this parliament's observer at the United Nations, who has lauded the election of Donald Trump as a 'movement against the establishment political parties'. Is the Prime Minister concerned— Government senators interjecting— The PRESIDENT: A point of order, Senator Wong? Senator Wong: There are an enormous number of interjections happening which are disrupting the question. I would ask that the clock be reset and the question be re-asked. The PRESIDENT: On the point of order, Senator Seselja? Senator Seselja: The interjections were simply about the fact that Senator O'Neill was neglecting to mention that Senator Singh was also in New York on taxpayer— The PRESIDENT: There is no point of order. That is a debating point. I would ask senators to observe silence when senators are asking questions and giving answers. You may commence your question again, Senator O'Neill. We will reset the clock. Senator O'NEILL: Thank you very much, Mr President; I did have trouble hearing myself. I refer to commentary by Senator Bernardi, currently funded by taxpayers to be in New York as this parliament's observer at the United Nations, who has lauded the election of Donald Trump as a 'movement against the establishment political parties'. The PRESIDENT: A point of order, Senator Macdonald? Senator Ian Macdonald: The way the question was asked suggesting Senator Bernardi was doing something wrong is pejorative and is not within the standing orders. The senator should also state that Labor senator Lisa Singh is also in New York. The PRESIDENT: Order, Senator Macdonald! You are debating the point. There is an opportunity at the end of question time for these matters to be rectified. The minister the question is directed to could also make reference to that. Senator O'NEILL: Is the Prime Minister concerned by the movement against establishment political parties, particularly by conservative groups based in South Australia? What implications does this have for government policy?
