Senator RUSTON (South Australia—Minister for Families and Social Services and Manager of Government Business in the Senate) (14:37): I thank the senator for her further follow up question. I think I actually have already answered your question but just to reinforce to this chamber that this government has no intention of commencing debt recovery on people in Townsville, who have been significantly impacted by the events of earlier this year. Opposition senators interjecting— Senator RUSTON: If the others on the other side would like to listen to what I have to say they may get the answer to their question. The PRESIDENT: Order on my left. Senator RUSTON: I would say to the senator who has asked the question that if the Mayor of Townsville would like to raise any issues with me, I absolutely would welcome her phone call if she believes that anybody has been adversely impacted in Townsville as a result of the actions of the department for which I am responsible.
