Senator CANAVAN (Queensland—Minister for Resources and Northern Australia) (14:51): You would like to think that most of us in this chamber would support jobs and support investments in great Australian industries like the Australian coal industry, which is our nation's largest export, but unfortunately the Australian Labor Party, who used to apparently represent workers and labourers and people who like to work outside, don't do that anymore. In their Climate Change Action Plan, the Labor Party say they support the 'orderly transition' away from the coal-fired-power industry. Indeed, in the Labor Party's policy platform—this is a direct quote—they say: Labor will establish a Just Transition Unit in the Department of Environment to co-ordinate— this transition. So, Mr President— Honourable senators interjecting— The PRESIDENT: Order on my left! Senator Bernardi: Mr President, I have a point of order. Senator Hanson-Young is making the most vile insinuations against the minister and impugning his character. I'd ask her to withdraw them or to cease making those interjections. The PRESIDENT: I was having trouble hearing the minister and was about to call the chamber to order, so I didn't hear any interjections. Senator Canavan hasn't taken objection. If anyone did make any comments that are unparliamentary, they should withdraw them. Senator Hanson-Young? Senator Hanson-Young: Mr President, I don't believe it was unparliamentary. I was referring to whether the mining industry was looking to profit from the words of Senator Canavan. The PRESIDENT: Senator Bernardi? Senator Bernardi: For the benefit of the chamber and for you, Mr President: Senator Hanson-Young was saying: 'How much have they paid you for this? Do they pay you per word? How much money do they give you?' It's a vile character assassination by— The PRESIDENT: Thank you, Senator Bernardi. The standing rule of the Senate on disrespect is that, if that was not heard by the chair—if it was indeed said, I would ask her to withdraw, but I take what a senator says about what they did say at face value if it's not on the record. Senator Hanson-Young? Senator Hanson-Young: I did say those words. I withdraw them. The PRESIDENT: Thank you, Senator Hanson-Young. Senator CANAVAN: As I was commenting, it's unbelievable that the Australian Labor Party would establish a unit in the government to take people out of work. That's the idea of the Just Transition Unit: it's not to get people into work; it is just to get them out of work. Opposition senators interjecting— The PRESIDENT: Order on my left. Senator Stoker, a final supplementary question.
