Senator BIRMINGHAM (South Australia—Minister for Finance, Vice-President of the Executive Council and Leader of the Government in the Senate) (14:50): I don't think I could have been any clearer in relation to the government's position or my position about the receipt of vaccines. We encourage everyone to receive the vaccine. It is voluntary across Australia. It will be voluntary. But, we want to make sure there are high levels of confidence in the vaccine program. We have gone through a process that is thorough and rigorous to ensure those high levels of confidence. Australia, unlike other countries that have had to rush emergency approvals, has been able to go through the comprehensive processes of the Therapeutic Goods Administration. Australia, unlike other countries that have had to rush distribution processes, has been able to develop distribution arrangements that should give people confidence in the efficacy and efficiency of the rollout. Australia is taking this role not only in our country but in leading others in our region to promote the receipt of the vaccine. The PRESIDENT: Senator O'Neill on a point of order. Senator O'Neill: The point of order again is on relevance. The question was very clear: why do you continue to refuse to reject Mr Kelly's irresponsible comments? The PRESIDENT: Senator O'Neill, again, I can't instruct the minister on the terms in which to answer. I believe the minister is constructing his comments to be directly relevant and has addressed part of that question in his answer. Senator BIRMINGHAM: I am not going to give airtime to debates about the merits of the vaccine. I am going to stick to the merits of the vaccine and the merits of our vaccination strategy to get it to all Australians. The PRESIDENT: Senator O'Neill, a final supplementary question?
