Senator REYNOLDS (Western Australia—Minister for the National Disability Insurance Scheme and Minister for Government Services) (14:56): Senator Sterle, I'm not sure that you actually heard the answer to the first question, so I might just repeat that because it answers your question. Again, we released a discussion paper for the proposed changes to the coastal trading framework for cargo vessels. Again, nothing in the paper is final and the department will continue to work— The PRESIDENT: Senator Sterle, on a point of order? Senator Sterle: Mr President, my point of order is on relevance. The minister is going nowhere near the question I asked about Inland Rail. I would urge you to bring her back to the question. The PRESIDENT: The supplementary question referred to the mayors of certain towns in New South Wales and investment in the Inland Rail project. That's the part of the question I heard. I'm listening carefully to the minister's answer. I'm not willing to say it's not directly relevant now, because the minister is talking about the project, from my understanding of the answer. I will let the minister continue, but I will remind her of that part of the question. Senator REYNOLDS: I'm certain when I heard the question I heard rail mentioned, as you did, Mr President, but Senator Sterle also talked about maritime shipping, which is what I am now addressing. The PRESIDENT: You're quite right. He did. Senator REYNOLDS: So, as I had said, under any proposed reforms, protections for Australian vessels will be maintained and foreign vessels will continue to need licences. Opening the coast, a strategic fleet— Senator Sterle interjecting— Senator REYNOLDS: I will take the interjection, Senator Sterle. You obviously didn't hear it the first time I went through this for you. The options suggested in the discussion paper are focused on achieving administrative efficiencies within the current system. (Time expired) The PRESIDENT: Senator Sterle, a final supplementary question?
