Senator RUSTON (South Australia—Minister for Families and Social Services and Manager of Government Business in the Senate) (14:31): Thank you very much, Senator Watt, for the question. Clearly, the federal government have absolutely made commitments, and they have honoured those commitments, to our bushfire affected communities across Australia. As we work our way through this COVID pandemic, I want to make sure that all Australians who are living in bushfire affected areas understand that we have not forgotten the bushfire affected areas, just as we have not forgotten our drought affected areas. As part of the announcements that have been made in relation to the support that this government has made to bushfire affected areas—as you would be well aware, Senator Watt, the $2 billion that was made available, of which I understand $1.2 billion has gone out the door and has been spent or allocated, and in addition to that a further $650 million— The PRESIDENT: Senator Watt on a point of order? Senator Watt: On relevance, Mr President. My question was about the $4 billion Emergency Response Fund, which has been unspent—not a single dollar spent. The PRESIDENT: I've allowed you to remind the minister of the question. I'm listening carefully. She has a minute and seven seconds remaining. Honourable senators interjecting— The PRESIDENT: Order! It's not an opportunity for others to answer on behalf of the minister. The minister can answer. Senator RUSTON: Senator Watt, I'm more than happy to take on notice the allegations that you're making about some fund that hasn't been spent at all. However, what I would like to say to you is that $1.8 billion is rolling into communities and supporting individuals, and it has already gone out the door and is supporting bushfire impacted communities. That's in addition to a number of other measures, such as small business measures that have been put in place, courtesy of programs that have been operated by Minister Cash, to assist small business. That includes things like, in my home state, funding being made available because of the bushfire smoke taint that impacted the grape growers. The amount of money that has been provided by the federal government in support of our bushfire affected communities continues to be made available to them as they go through the very difficult task of rebuilding, and we have absolutely not shirked our responsibility to make that money available. The money is going out the door. The PRESIDENT: Senator Watt, a supplementary question?
