Senator WILLIAMS (New South Wales—Nationals Whip in the Senate) (14:34): Unlike Senator Pratt, I have a serious question to ask. My question is to the Minister for Regional Development, Senator Nash. Senator Wong interjecting— Senator WILLIAMS: If you will be quiet, please, Senator Wong, I will continue. Can the minister update the Senate on the coalition government's plans for regional Australia and in particular the establishment of a new regional ministerial taskforce, which met for the first time last week? How will a new task force deliver for people living in rural, regional and remote communities?
