Senator FARRELL (South Australia—Minister for Trade and Tourism, Special Minister of State and Deputy Leader of the Government in the Senate) (14:33): I thank the senator for her question. I think it's fair to say that this government is doing so much more for pensioners, even in its first couple of months, than you've done in your previous 10 years.

The PRESIDENT: Thank you, Senator Reynolds. The minister has started to talk about pensioners. Like you, I'm listening carefully. Minister Farrell, please continue. Senator FARRELL: Thank you, President. I thank the senator for her intervention.

These are issues that are, of course, constantly under review by the Minister for Social Services. The PRESIDENT: Minister, please resume your seat. Senator Birmingham? Senator Birmingham: President, I have a point of order on relevance. It's agonising that Mr Farrell can't get beyond the broad concept of pensioners and hasn't even turned to the actual policy proposal of the government— which is a copy of part of an opposition policy proposal—for an extension to pensioner work rights, when the precise question from Senator Reynolds was about those pensioner work rights and why the government has adopted it only to the end of the financial year. The PRESIDENT: Thank you, Senator Birmingham. In the time remaining I will direct the minister to the specifics of the question. Senator FARRE LL: Thank you, President. As the Prime Minister has said time and time again, and as— (Time expired) The PRESIDENT: Senator Reynolds, your first supplementary question?
