Senator RUSTON (South Australia—Minister for Families and Social Services and Manager of Government Business in the Senate) (14:17): I probably would caution the senator opposite who asked the question about taking her policy direction from the media. Perhaps she might like to listen to what I've said in here on successive occasions and also to the responses that have previously been provided to the questions asked of Senator Cormann by the opposition, which have clearly outlined— Honourable senators interjecting— The PRESIDENT: Senator Siewert on a point of order? Senator Siewert: I honestly cannot hear the minister's answer. The PRESIDENT: You're not the only one. We have had a request from a colleague to be able to hear the answer, so I'm going to ask all senators to keep that in mind when they interject in a disorderly way. Senator RUSTON: As I was saying to Senator Siewert when she didn't hear my response, the answers that have been provided in this place by Senator Cormann to previous questions clearly outline the responsible action that this government is taking to make sure that we put everything in place to support Australians through this coronavirus pandemic. At the same time, we have a responsibility to get our economy going again to make sure that we can create the jobs. We'll get businesses back to work and create the jobs so that Australians who find themselves at the moment without work or the JobKeeper payment are able to get back to work. The PRESIDENT: Order! Senator Siewert on a point of order? Senator Siewert: This is information that we heard yesterday—most of it. I asked a specific question: is it the case that jobseeker will now be permanently increased from the end of September? The PRESIDENT: That was the conclusion of your question, Senator Siewert. I believe the minister is being directly relevant to parts of the question. She is talking about the allowance. It may not be the answer senators seek. There is an opportunity to debate that after question time. Senator RUSTON: As the Prime Minister responded today at his press conference in relation to a very similar question to the one Senator Siewert asked, the most important thing that we can do as a government is make sure that we work to get the economy reopened. What we won't do is get ahead of ourselves. I think that is exactly what you are doing here. You're getting ahead of yourself and are getting yourself overly excited about a report that was in the paper this morning. Senator Siewert, you've been here long enough to understand that you cannot always believe everything that you read in the paper. What you should do is take your policy direction from the answers I give you when you ask me questions, and perhaps take some note of what Senator Cormann has said in response to a similar question asked by those opposite. Also, maybe you should listen to the Prime Minister's press conferences, like this morning's, when he did a press conference with Senator Cash, so that you can get a clear understanding straight from the horse's mouth, so to speak, about government policy. The PRESIDENT: Senator Siewert, a supplementary question?
