Senator CANAVAN (Queensland—Minister for Resources and Northern Australia) (14:48): As Senator Kitching has outlined, Minister Price has answered questions on this matter in the other place. I know that, like me and other members of this government, she supports and continues to work towards better relationships with our Pacific neighbours. As I outlined in answer to the earlier question, just in the past week the government has announced further funding to strengthen that relationship with our Pacific neighbours, including a $2 billion infrastructure financing facility, which the Prime Minister says will focus on energy, water and transport needs for our Pacific neighbours. We're also, of course, committed to helping our Pacific neighbours tackle challenges around climate change, and we've supported programs in that area as well. We will continue to work to strengthen our relationship with our Pacific neighbours, as we have done the whole time we've been in government. The PRESIDENT: Senator Singh on a point of order. Senator Singh: Senator Collins asked whether or not Senator Canavan agrees with the former minister's assessment of what took place in the conversation between the minister and the President of Kiribati. The PRESIDENT: That was part of the question asked. The question also brought in a quote from a newspaper article. The minister's allowed to address any part of the question. Senator Canavan.
