Senator McKENZIE (Victoria—Minister for Agriculture and Leader of the Nationals in the Senate) (14:20): What is good on drought and what is good for regional Australia by that mob over there is absolutely obscene. For you to stand up—I could shut down every coal fired power station today, right now, and I tell you what, Sarah: we'd still be in drought. Our farmers would still be doing it tough. The DEPUTY PRESIDENT: I remind you to address the senator by her correct title. Senator McKENZIE: Sorry, Madam Deputy President. It's a bit of a joke, very rich—again, playing politics for Fitzroy, Brunswick and the like, thank you very much. An opposition senator: Elwood? Senator McKENZIE: It's 'leafy Elwood'! But for you to come in here and lecture us on how to deal with the drought—that if we switched off all coal-fired power stations in this country today, somehow, miraculously it would rain tomorrow—is just a joke. I believe the science, and I know what science will tell me: that won't happen. Senator Hanson-Young: Point of order: the only person talking about miracles in this place is the minister, who says, 'We just should pray for rain.' The DEPUTY PRESIDENT: That's a debating point. Senator McKENZIE: You know what, Senator Hanson-Young? I'm not the only one praying for rain. There are a lot of people in regional Australia—a lot of people across this country—praying for rain.
