Senator RUSTON (South Australia—Minister for Families and Social Services and Manager of Government Business in the Senate) (14:49): Thank you, Senator Chisholm, for your question. I would refute the context of the question that you have just put forward, because I don't believe that the Australian government is doing what you've accused it of doing. I believe the Australian government is absolutely supporting the Australian public by making sure that we put in the capabilities to ensure that we keep Australians safe. We put those things in place last year through some of the most devastating bushfires this country has ever seen. We remain committed to working with the states and territories— Senator Wong: A point of order on direct relevance: it was a very, very specific question about the delivery of aerial firefighting capability. I'd ask the minister to return to the question. The PRESIDENT: You've reminded the minister of the question. I will continue to listen closely. The question did ask 'why', and then it asserted a claim about the government. As long as the minister is directly addressing the claim and the subject matter within it directly, I think she's being relevant. Senator RUSTON: Thank you, Mr President. To Senator Wong's point, I refuted the accusation that was made and the premise of the question that was asked in the first place. I believe the Australian government is supporting our aerial firefighting capacity through 159 aircraft, providing 185 services. If you'd like me to, I can list or put on the record all of those capabilities.
