Senator CORMANN (Western Australia—Leader of the Government in the Senate, Minister for Finance and Vice-President of the Executive Council) (14:06): I thank Senator Brockman for that question. As I've said, we came into this crisis in a stronger, more resilient position as a result of the budget repair work done by our government during our first six years in government. That allowed us to commit to $314 billion worth of support for the Australian economy, nearly 16 per cent of GDP. According to Treasury, that support has helped save 700,000 jobs— Opposition senators interjecting— Senator CORMANN: Seven hundred thousand jobs! The unemployment rate would have been around five per cent higher than it is today— Government senators interjecting— The PRESIDENT: Order! Senator Birmingham and Senator Watt, before I call Senator Wong I will insist on both of you being quiet. Senator Wong on a point of order? A government senator interjecting— Senator Wong: He did. I heard what he called him. I'd ask him to withdraw. The PRESIDENT: I'm afraid I did not hear. There was so much— Senator Wong interjecting— The PRESIDENT: Order! Senator Wong, please! There was complete disorder across the chamber. I was struggling to hear Senator Cormann. I'm going to ask you, Senator McGrath, to withdraw that. Senator Cormann: I heard him, and he didn't actually say that. Senator Wong: Do you want me to put it on the record? He called a senator a moron. I'm asking him to withdraw. The PRESIDENT: I did not hear it. I can't attest to it. What is conventional in these opportunities is that if a senator wishes to withdraw a comment they may, but I cannot order a withdrawal for something I did not hear. I'm going to ask Senator McGrath to withdraw the comment he made. Senator McGrath: I withdraw. A government senator interjecting— The PRESIDENT: I heard that one. Senator Cormann. Senator CORMANN: Thank you very much, Mr President. The PRESIDENT: Sorry, Senator Birmingham is seeking the call. Senator Birmingham: Mr President, I stand by the question asking which planet Senator Watt's been on all year, but if I said that I withdraw it. The PRESIDENT: Thank you. Senator Cormann, please continue. Senator CORMANN: I've got to say that's a very good point by Senator Birmingham—that question that he just raised. But Senator Watt is certainly not Robinson Crusoe, because everyone on that island that is called the Labor Party these days is in complete denial of what is actually happening on planet Earth. Here is a message from planet Earth, Senator Watt— (Time expired) Honourable senators interjecting— The PRESIDENT: I'll call Senator Brockman when there's silence. Senator Brockman, a final supplementary question?
