Senator McKENZIE (Victoria—Minister for Emergency Management and National Recovery and Resilience, Minister for Regionalisation, Regional Communications and Regional Education and Leader of The Nationals in the Senate) (14:59): I have a raft of grant programs under my authority and discretion, as is appropriate as a minister for the Crown. I will actually undertake my role as a minister for the Crown, as a senator, with personal integrity and intent and ensure that I fulfil my duties in accordance with both the ministerial standards and the way I have conducted myself throughout my career. The PRESIDENT: Senator Wong, on a point of order? Senator Wong: The question didn't go to this minister's appropriateness, on which we all have very different views; it went to whether or not she was going to ensure the Prime Minister's office did not repeat their previous practice of altering her grant decisions. The PRESIDENT: You've restated the question. The minister has been talking for 21 seconds. If the minister is limiting her comments—as I believe she is—to her administration of the programs, I can't go to the point of actually directing her how to answer a question. She is being directly relevant. There is an opportunity after question time, I repeat, for debate of questions and answers. Senator McKENZIE: Once again, I take full responsibility for all decisions made as a minister then, and I'll continue to do so. Senator Birmingham: Mr President, I ask that further questions be placed on the Notice Paper.
