Senator CASH (Western Australia—Minister for Small and Family Business, Skills and Vocational Education) (14:57): Again, I completely refute the statements that have been made, and I don't agree with these statements that have been made. Honourable senators interjecting— The PRESIDENT: Order! Senator CASH: It is a fact that we provide health care on both Nauru and Manus Island. As I was saying, the Australian government has invested in excess of $1 billion of taxpayers' money for infrastructure projects in both Nauru and PNG. What does this actually include? It includes a new medical centre; it includes staff accommodation; it includes a logistics hub in PNG; and it also includes a hospital redevelopment and community resource centre in Nauru. But again we must not forget, Senator McKim, that the only reason anyone is on Manus or Nauru is the policies that you supported and that were put in place. The PRESIDENT: Senator Brown. Sorry, a point of order, Senator Bernardi? Senator Bernardi: I'd ask you to consider whether the Greens yelling at Senator Cash, 'You are abusing children; you are a child abuser,' is parliamentary, because I don't think it is. The PRESIDENT: I did not hear such comments. If such comments were made— Honourable senators interjecting— The PRESIDENT: I have called Senator Brown. We're going to this question regardless of how long this takes. Senator Hinch, on the point of order? Senator Hinch: Those comments were made. The PRESIDENT: If those comments were made, I would suggest, for the sake of the operation of the chamber, they should be withdrawn. They were directed at a minister personally rather than an observation on policy, if those were the exact words. I did not hear them. Senator McKim: What I am happy to clarify for you— Honourable senators interjecting— The PRESIDENT: Order! I'll hear Senator McKim. We'll be going to Senator Brown after this— An honourable senator interjecting— The PRESIDENT: I've already called Senator Brown for her question, so I consider the question to have commenced. Senator McKim. Senator McKim: Thank you, Mr President. If I did describe the minister as a child abuser, I withdraw it. There is plenty of evidence that the government is abusing children on Nauru. The PRESIDENT: Senator McKim, can I ask you to withdraw the personal comments. There is a time to make party-political debate afterwards. Can I ask you to withdraw the personal comments. I need that to be unconditional rather than 'if'. Senator McKim: It is not just the minister, it is the whole government, Mr President. I withdraw it. The PRESIDENT: Thank you, Senator McKim. Senator Brown.
