Senator SCULLION (Northern Territory—Minister for Indigenous Affairs and Leader of The Nationals in the Senate) (14:50): I thank the senator for that question. It's a very important one, and we're aware that Senator McCarthy made a number of assertions to Senator Cormann, representing the Prime Minister, yesterday. I don't think Senator McCarthy has a mischievous bone in her body. These matters were 10 years ago, and some things can slip your mind, so she asked the question. But let me tell the Senate about the people of Borroloola. They have been waiting 10 years for $15 million from the federal government to provide housing—$14.6 million, actually. So, if I can just correct the senator: it was sent to the Northern Territory 10 years ago. And I know senators will find this a bit more difficult to swallow: Senator McCarthy has forgotten that she was a cabinet minister in the very same government! The PRESIDENT: Senator McCarthy on a point of order. Senator McCarthy: For the last five years it's been under Minister Nigel Scullion. The PRESIDENT: That isn't a point of order, Senator McCarthy; that is a point of debate. There's an opportunity for that after question time. Senator SCULLION: So, we're all pretty interested in how that slipped her mind when she was asking the question yesterday. The $14.6 million was sent to Senator McCarthy's government, and it has been the Northern Territory government's entire responsibility to build those houses—nothing to do with the Commonwealth; no-one's ever suggested that it is anything to do with the Commonwealth government. But they should be commended: they did build houses, in the 2009-10— The PRESIDENT: Senator McCarthy, what is your point of order? Senator McCarthy: The point of order is that it is incorrect. The leasing is with Nigel Scullion. The PRESIDENT: Please resume your seat. I will not entertain a further point. I will frown strongly upon a further point of order that is a point of debate for after question time. Senator SCULLION: In 2009-10 they built 67 houses, none in Borroloola; 257 in 2010-11, none in Borroloola—sorry about that, Borroloola; 356 in 2011-12—sorry, none in Borroloola; 261 in 2012-13—sorry, none in Borroloola. That is a total of 941 houses in the four years that she was in government, a part of the executive of the Northern Territory government, and not one in Borroloola—not a single skerrick of a house in Borroloola. So, I think it's pretty nauseating to take a lecture from those opposite. An opposition senator: Shameful! The PRESIDENT: Senator Scullion, a point of order? Senator Scullion: I've just been harassed by the senator opposite. She's calling me shameful. She's misled the Senate. She should be rising to her feet and apologising. The PRESIDENT: Senator Wong, are you rising on this point of order? I was about to rule that it wasn't a point of order. Senator Wong: A point of order: if there's anyone who is shameful, it's this minister, who's presided over cuts to Aboriginal services. The PRESIDENT: This is not the place. You know better than that, Senator Wong. Senator Cormann? Senator Cormann: Senator Wong should withdraw that. The PRESIDENT: I don't deem the language to be unparliamentary. It is inappropriate to use a point of order for points of debate. Senator Smith, a supplementary question.
