Senator CORMANN (Western Australia—Minister for Finance, Vice-President of the Executive Council and Leader of the Government in the Senate) (14:02): The Australian economy is into its 29th year of continuous growth. Let me tell you something: Senator Chandler has never experienced anything other than a growing Australian economy. The DEPUTY PRESIDENT: We have a point of order. Senator Farrell: The standing orders require that the leader address the Chair. I've noticed that he has his back turned away from you on every occasion. Could you please direct him to address the Chair, in accordance with the standing orders. The DEPUTY PRESIDENT: I'm sure Minister Cormann is well aware of the standing orders. Senator CORMANN: Of course, in addressing you, Madam Deputy President, let me continue to make this point: Senator Chandler has never experienced anything other than a growing Australian economy. What she has never experienced is a Labor surplus. Our government stands by the plan for a stronger economy, which, of course, includes making sure that the Australian government lives within its means, because that is an important part of making sure that our economy is as resilient as possible into the future. The DEPUTY PRESIDENT: Senator Gallagher, a final supplementary question?
