Senator WONG (South Australia—Minister for Foreign Affairs and Leader of the Government in the Senate) (14:44): I have responded to the Suburban Rail Loop project questions. I have also responded to the Warragamba Dam questions. I'm now asked about partisan decision-making. Can we remember the $15 million commitment for a car park at Balaclava station, despite the fact that the land was already set aside for public housing? Can we remember the $115,000 per space for a project in the Melbourne suburb of Berwick, which the Auditor-General found was nearly three times the benchmark price? Can we remember 11 projects worth $175 million with no assessment work? The PRESIDENT: Minister Wong! Senator WONG: Keep asking us about partisan infrastructure funding because we are not going to forget what you did. The PRESIDENT: Order! Minister Wong. Senator Brockman: A point of order on direct relevance. Clear rulings from previous presidents have stated that a— Senator Ayres: What about the Brockman interregnum? Senator Brockman: Including the last President! Previous presidents of both persuasions have ruled that, whilst passing glances at the opposition are acceptable, an answer, which is now more than halfway through, that has contained nothing but attacks on the opposition is irrelevant. The PRESIDENT: Thank you, Senator Brockman. Order! Senators! Seriously, all of you, on my left and my right. It took me a very long time to get the attention of Senator Wong, to ask her to sit down, because there was so much disorder in this chamber that it wasn't possible. Senator McGrath interjecting— The PRESIDENT: Thank you, Senator McGrath. You are the biggest offender, and I would ask you to be quiet and respectful. Senator Colbeck's second supplementary question was very broad and went to a hypocritical question about why something was favoured over another. It was not specific, and I believe that Senator Wong is being directly relevant. Senator WONG: Thank you, President. I'm afraid I did not hear you, and had I heard you I would have responded more quickly, but I did see Senator Brockman and sit down. I have responded on the specific projects in question, but I would remind those opposite that their record when it comes to partisanship and poor process in infrastructure is well there for all Australians to see.
