Senator CORMANN (Western Australia—Minister for Finance and the Public Service, Vice-President of the Executive Council and Leader of the Government in the Senate) (14:26): As I've just indicated, all of us here are part of a parliamentary democracy. Obviously, a core function of the parliamentary democracy is for us to engage in, at times, robust debate across the chamber. I'm quite intrigued that the Labor Party would ask Senator Kitching to ask a question about bullying, given some of the views that have been expressed in the past about the way she has engaged in internal Labor Party democracy in times gone by. Indeed, the CFMEU— The PRESIDENT: Senator Cormann, please resume your seat. Senator Wong, on a point of order? Senator Wong: The question is about whether or not the Prime Minister thinks a response to bullying that says 'roll with the punches' is appropriate. The question had nothing to do with any of the issues that the minister, in a somewhat desperate attempt to deflect responsibility, is engaging with. Senator Ian Macdonald interjecting— The PRESIDENT: You've reminded— Senator Wong: I'll take the interjection about settling down, thank you, Senator McDonald. I'm very pleased— The PRESIDENT: Order! Senator Wong, please resume your seat. Senator Ian Macdonald: Sit her down! Senator Wong: Sit her down? The PRESIDENT: We shouldn't be taking interjections at any time, least of all during point of orders, nor should they be made, Senator Macdonald. Senator CORMANN: Bullying is never appropriate in any workplace, and I look forward to Senator Kitching joining us on a unity ticket as we fight bullying on construction sites around Australia where the CFMEU seeks to bully hardworking Australians into submission. The truth is— (Time expired) Senator Wong interjecting— Senator Ian Macdonald interjecting— The PRESIDENT: Order! Senators Wong and Macdonald! We are wasting time. Senator Cameron interjecting— The PRESIDENT: Senator Cameron, please don't start off again. Senator Kitching, a final supplementary? Senator Cameron interjecting— Senator Ian Macdonald interjecting— The PRESIDENT: Senator Cameron and Senator McDonald, I have called you both to order on numerous occasions. Senator Kitching is on her feet. Please respect your colleagues.
