Senator McKENZI E (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) (14:32): I thank Senator Keneally for the question. As the Prime Minister has made clear, this is a decision for cabinet and no decision has been made. That is as it stands. Every cabinet minister in the Senate is aware of the processes of cabinet, and of the Cabinet Handbook and of our responsibilities as cabinet ministers in this government. It has been an incredibly collegiate cabinet that has been able to deliver for rural and regional Australia. My question though is, I guess—having dealt with that question, I am very, very happy to go to the fact that the Labor Party's question belies your strategy—that you're all politics and no— The PRESIDENT: Senator McKenzie, please resume your seat. Senator Keneally on a point of order? Senator Keneally: My point of order is on direct relevance. The minister, in her own answer, is admitting that she is straying into areas that are not relevant to this rather tightly worded question. Senator Birmingham: Senator Keneally was asking quite a politicised question. That was the way in which she presented it. Senator McKenzie has directly addressed the substance of the question in relation to knowledge of the cabinet rules and processes. Senator McKenzie, having directly addressed the question, is fully entitled to add context to the answer she has given. The PRESIDENT: Senator McKenzie, I believe you were being directly relevant to the question; however, your choice of phrase in broadening your answer was probably not indicating that you were staying directly relevant to the question. So I will bring your attention back to the question. You have the call. Senator McKENZIE: Thank you very much, Mr President. And, having answered Senator Keneally's question, I want to go to other aspects of her question—that is, the decision on the issue that we're discussing today coming before cabinet. The Labor Party choose to politicise their questions to me—all day yesterday; all day today. It's a quote-a-thon. I'm sure we'll have George Christensen quoted at some point today, others tomorrow. The fact is that you are playing politics with this question because you actually have no plan. You actually have no plan yourselves to take forward. You have had eight different positions on this question—eight! Whether it's Chris Bowen, whether it's Mark Butler, whether it's the fantastic member for Hunter, who sadly won't be running at the next election, which provides an opportunity for this side of the chamber, quite frankly, or whether it's Meryl Swanston and the like, you are much more divided on this question going forward than we ever have been. The National Party is focused on its— (Time expired) The PRESIDENT: Senator Keneally, a supplementary question?
