Senator NASH (New South Wales—Deputy Leader of The Nationals, Minister for Regional Development, Minister for Local Government and Territories and Minister for Regional Communications) (14:46): As those opposite would know, the decision around the penalty rates was a decision for the Fair Work Commission, the independent umpire who rightly and appropriately makes the decisions when it comes to penalty rates. Perhaps, if those opposite listened a little more closely, they would realise that that is indeed the case. What I find really extraordinary is that the senator rises to raise an issue of regional Queensland, but, when I look across at the senators of the other side, how many of them are actually from regional areas? Senator O'Sullivan: None of them live in regional Queensland—they're all on the Gold Coast and Brisbane! Senator NASH: Three in Brisbane and one on the Gold Coast, so it a little bit interesting when they come in to ask us questions about the impact on regional communities. None of them even live there! I wonder how many on our side come from regional communities. I think we should actually put our hand up on this side if we are from a regional community. For those opposite, I bet there is barely a hand up—perhaps Senator Dodson might put his hand up, but nobody else over there comes from a regional community. I find it extraordinary that they can feign this surprise for regional Queensland when they live in Brisbane, Brisbane, Brisbane and the Gold Coast. It is those on this side of the chamber who are going to ensure that those living in regional communities have a strong future. Indeed, only last week the coalition put in place the regional ministerial task force to look across government, cross-portfolio, at how we can best invest in regional communities. It is not those on the other side but those on this side of the chamber, in the coalition, who are the ones who are going to deliver for regional people. The PRESIDENT: Senator Chisholm, a supplementary question.
