Payne, Sen Marise

Senator PAYNE (New South Wales—Minister for Foreign Affairs) (14:16): As I said in my earlier remarks, we are very confident that the moratorium will be maintained. I am not going to speculate on the sorts of hypotheticals that Senator Whish-Wilson has advanced to the chamber this afternoon. Most importantly, I'd like to record my enormous confidence that Senator Whish-Wilson will never be in charge of Australia's diplomatic engagements.
