Senator CASH (Western Australia—Minister for Small and Family Business, Skills and Vocational Education) (14:22): Again, Senator McKim, you've even stated yourself that you have made assertions—nothing more and nothing less. I again reiterate that I have been advised— The PRESIDENT: Senator McKim, on a point of order. Senator McKim: This was an incredibly specific question, Mr President. My point of order is on relevance. This was a specific question about whether the minister would seek further advice in regard to whether or not appointments with Dr Montana on Nauru have been cancelled and no alternative appointments made. The PRESIDENT: Senator McKim, that was the second part of the question you asked. I remind senators that you made a statement before that, Senator McKim, and the minister is entitled to address the statement you made before you had that question about what the minister had previously asserted. I cannot direct the minister how to answer a question as long as the minister is being directly relevant—and, in this case, I believe the minister is. Senator CASH: Again, perhaps Senator McKim needs to understand exactly why we are in the situation of even having people on Nauru and Manus Island. Again, that is because of the policies that Senator McKim and those in the Australian Greens would delight in implementing if ever they are able to join with a Labor government and do so. Senator McKim, it is a reality that, because of the policies that your party supported, 50,000 people arrived here on in excess of 800 boats. Senator McKim, it is a fact that, because of the policies the Australian Greens supported, there were 1,200— The PRESIDENT: Senator McKim, on a point of order. Senator McKim: It is on direct relevance. The minister is not being, and has never been in this answer, directly relevant to the question I asked. I ask you to remind her of the question, please. The PRESIDENT: I'll ignore your observation on my first ruling, but I remind the minister that this question related to the previous two questions about healthcare services. I remind the minister of the terms of the question. Senator CASH: As I was saying, that we even have to have a conversation about Nauru or Manus Island is only because of the policies that the Australian Greens support. (Time expired) Senator McKim: That was one of the most pathetic things you've done, and that is really saying something.
