Senator SCULLION (Northern Territory—Minister for Indigenous Affairs and Leader of The Nationals in the Senate) (14:54): The reason we're stepping in is that the Northern Territory government has failed—still, today—to deliver a single house in Borroloola. Honourable senators interjecting — Senator SCULLION: I'm not sure if they have any interest in this matter, particularly Senator McCarthy, but, in partnership with the community of Borroloola and the community of the Northern Territory, we have the support of the Northern Land Council. Let me tell you what hasn't happened: Senator McCarthy has never come to me with— The PRESIDENT: Senator Scullion, please resume your seat. Senator O'Sullivan, on a point of order? Senator O'Sullivan: I've previously advised the chamber of my sensitive-ear syndrome. This is a workplace health and safety issue, and they need to conduct themselves in a quieter manner. The PRESIDENT: I had asked Senator Scullion to resume his seat because I couldn't hear a word he was saying. Senator Jacinta Collins: That's because his microphone was turned off! The PRESIDENT: No, the microphone was on. Honourable senators interjecting— The PRESIDENT: Everyone, please be quiet while I'm talking! It is not too much to ask. There were too many interjections during that. It was very hard for anyone to hear. Senator SCULLION: I was told, by the community of Borroloola, that there were particular issues that were going to occur over this wet season and asked if we would be able to do something about it, given that the Territory government are not intending to build any houses until next year. That's the reason we're working with the Northern Territory government and the Northern Land Council—to provide some relief in the way that the Northern Territory government will not. The PRESIDENT: Senator Smith, a final supplementary question.
