Senator McKENZIE (Victoria—Deputy Leader of The Nationals and Minister for Regional Services, Sport, Local Government and Decentralisation) (14:45): Mr President, thank you for that very good advice. I shall adhere to it in the future. As I stated, the Prime Minister has announced that he will be speaking with the Department of Social Services' minister and seeking whether there's a need to review this decision. Absolutely, we stand to support those families and communities who are doing it tough at this time. The PRESIDENT: To clarify, Senator McKenzie, my previous ruling wasn't just in response to you; it was to some others responding to interjections. Senator O'Sullivan on a point of order. Senator O'Sullivan: On a point of order: I'm not certain there's a mechanism for this, but, regarding the senator's statement that they've never had it so good in the bush, is there any prospect that we can have that placed on the record? Senator Cameron's interjection, that they've never had it so good in the bush—what an atrocious statement. Is there some way that he might— The PRESIDENT: Senator O'Sullivan, you're asking— Senator Wong interjecting— The PRESIDENT: Senator Wong, I let all senators make points of order. Unless they're egregiously out of order, I'm not going to interrupt. What is your point of order? Senator O'Sullivan: I'm asking: is there a mechanism to have that placed on the record, in the Hansard? The PRESIDENT: Interjections are not normally recorded unless they are taken by a person speaking. I did not hear that comment. I did not detect anything unparliamentary. I didn't hear it, so I can't say whether it happened. If it was as you are saying, there is nothing unparliamentary contained in that either. Senator O'Sullivan: He's offended every Australian who lives outside of the metro. The PRESIDENT: Senator O' Sullivan, please resume your seat. Senator Wong interjecting— The PRESIDENT: Senator Wong, I had ruled on the point of order. I am quite happy to have people respond to my exact words out of the microphone in a timely fashion. It would make the chamber a lot more quiet during question time. Senator Cormann. Senator Cormann: Just on a point of order: points of order are not to be taken by interjection. I would ask you to remind the Leader of the Opposition that, if she has a point of order, there's a proper way to handle it. The PRESIDENT: Senator Wong, on this or another point of order? Senator Wong: I am happy to do so, Mr President. I was trying to resolve this matter without having the need to do so. On three occasions, the microphone was on with no point of order raised. That is not in accordance with the standing orders and he ought not have been given the call on three occasions. The PRESIDENT: He wasn't given the call on three occasions. Senator Wong: Mr President, with respect, he was and he was microphoned, which is not consistent with the standing orders, but we leave it. The PRESIDENT: Senator Wong, I'll happily correct the record if I'm wrong, but he was being interrupted while he was raising a point of order and while I was speaking, while interjections were being made. No-one should be speaking while another is, least of all the person in the chair. I let senators raise a point of order. If they do something inappropriate, that will be called out. I cannot attest to an interjection I did not hear. Whether or not it happened, I made that ruling accordingly. I now call Senator McGrath.
