Senator CASH (Western Australia—Minister Assisting the Prime Minister for the Public Service, Minister for Employment and Minister for Women) (14:11): I thank Senator Cameron for the question. You know when Senator Cameron has had a bad day, don't you? He must be hurting over the imposition of law and order on the building and construction industry, which occurred today—a significant economic reform for this government. In relation to the question, I do remember at the time, in relation in particular to the China free trade agreement, which was one of the agreements that this government signed, the opposition from those opposite in relation to ensuring that businesses in Australia are as competitive as this government can make them. But I also, Senator Cameron, remember the irony of the time in relation to the CFMEU. Colleagues, if you recall, we had a cap that CFMEU members proudly wear— The PRESIDENT: Order! Pause the clock. Senator Cameron, on a point of order? Senator Cameron: Mr President, this is on relevance. The question I have asked is: can the minister explain how her statement is consistent with the removal of labour market testing? She has not gone anywhere near that question, and her attention should be drawn to the question. The PRESIDENT: I will remind the minister of the question. Minister, you have a minute and nine seconds. Senator CASH: As I was saying, just by way of the free trade agreements that Senator Cameron is referring to, the irony of Labor and the CFMEU's opposition was that the caps that the CFMEU wear are made in China— The PRESIDENT: Order! Pause the clock. Senator Wong, on a point of order? Senator Wong: The headwear of choice— Government senators interjecting— The PRESIDENT: Order on my right! On my right! Order! Senator Wong: My point of order is relevance. We did not ask about the CFMEU's headwear. We asked a very straightforward question about this minister's removal of labour market testing under four free trade agreements in her portfolio and her statement subsequently as to government policy. You have done her the courtesy, Mr President, of reminding her of the question. I would ask that she not ask for the extension of such a courtesy unnecessarily. The PRESIDENT: Again, I will remind the minister of the question. Senator CASH: Those opposite would know that, in relation to foreign labour and access to it, our free trade agreements are consistent with world trade obligations. But they are also similar, if not identical, to free trade agreements that the Labor Party signed when they were in office. Can I also remind the Senate that in relation to free trade agreements, if you want to start ticking of success in signing up— The PRESIDENT: Order! Pause the clock. Senator Cameron: Again, on relevance; there is one clear and unequivocal question here: can the minister explain how her statement is consistent with her removal of labour market testing? She again has not gone anywhere near that question. The PRESIDENT: I disagree with you that she has not gone near the question, because she is now addressing matters to the question but has not specifically answered the detail of your question; however, the minister is certainly addressing the question. Senator CASH: As I was saying, in relation to ensuring that Australian businesses do have opportunities under free trade agreements, it is this side of the chamber that has ensured that those free trade agreements are signed up. And, in relation to access to foreign labour under free trade agreements, what we do is ensure that those clauses are consistent with our other international obligations. Senator Ian Macdonald interjecting— Opposition senators interjecting— The PRESIDENT: Thank you, Minister. Order on both sides. Order. Senator Macdonald. Senator Cameron, supplementary question.
