Senator CASH (Western Australia—Minister Assisting the Prime Minister for the Public Service, Minister for Employment and Minister for Women) (14:57): Unfortunately, yes, I am. When you listen to the howls from those opposite, you can see that, despite everything that has caught on, despite all of the fantastic evidence that we have seen in relation to what the tens of thousands of men and women in Victoria do to protect Victorians and their emergency service bodies, yet again, they stand here and mock them. Look at the Leader of the Opposition, who, during the last election campaign, could not go anywhere near his home state because he knew— The PRESIDENT: Pause the clock. A point of order, Senator Wong? Senator Wong: That is an inappropriate imputation. We were not mocking the volunteers concerned; we were mocking this minister, who has gone off the budget because she is too ashamed to defend it. The PRESIDENT: Thank you, Senator Wong; there is no point of order. Senator CASH: As I said, isn't it disappointing that even in a week that is set aside specifically to celebrate our volunteers, to celebrate the fantastic work that they do, the Daniel Andrews government in Victoria, alongside the Labor members and senators in this place, refuses to stand up for the honourable men and women in the CFA in Victoria? Well, we on this side of the chamber will back them every step of the way.
