Senator BRANDIS (Queensland—Attorney-General, Vice-President of the Executive Council and Leader of the Government in the Senate) (14:16): Senator Chisholm, you talk about flirting with One Nation. I'll tell you what my experience was at the polling booths in Brisbane on Saturday. Regardless of what the Labor Party how-to-vote cards may have said, Labor Party booth workers, obviously under instructions, and trade unionists who were there at booths advancing the Labor candidate's interests were saying to voters as they entered the polling booths, 'Put the LNP last'—in other words, 'Give your preference to One Nation.' We are very familiar with the Labor Party talking out of both sides of its mouth. Don't worry about what your official position was, Senator Chisholm—your booth workers and your trade union surrogates were saying the opposite. The PRESIDENT: Order, Senator Brandis. On a point of order, Senator Cameron? Senator Cameron: A point of order on relevance: the question was about the poor performance of the party and whether the Turnbull government's leadership and policies are flirting with One Nation or— The PRESIDENT: Senator Cameron, you do not get to restate the question. You have raised your point of order on direct relevance. Senator Cameron: He should answer the question. The PRESIDENT: The minister is being relevant to the question as asked. Senator Wong? Senator Wong: Mr President, it is common practice when a point of order on direct reference is raised for reference to be made to the question in order to make the point of direct relevance. I trust you're not suggesting that that can't occur? The PRESIDENT: No, I'm not suggesting that, Senator Wong. I'm suggesting the question shouldn't be restated in a point of order. But a point of order can always draw attention to the question. Senator BRANDIS: I was referring to the part of the question that raised the issue of flirting with One Nation and I was pointing out that, notwithstanding their public position, Labor Party booth workers and trade union surrogates were asking constituents to preference One Nation.
