Senator MARIELLE SMITH (South Australia) (14:54): My question is to the Minister for Emergency Management, Senator Watt. Minister, the Bureau of Meteorology and the CSIRO have today released their State of the climate report which states that the climate has warmed by 1.5 degrees from the start of the 20th century. Can the minister explain how this will impact on communities and the emergency management sector? Senator Rennick interjecting— The PRESIDENT: Once again, Senator Rennick, if you wish to make a contribution, there are many other opportunities during the week for you to do so. I ask now that you stop interjecting. Senator Wong: Stand up and say it! You're such a coward. The PRESIDENT: Order! Senator Wong, I ask you to withdraw that comment. Senator Wong: It's defaming. The PRESIDENT: Senator Wong, I've asked you to withdraw that comment. Senator Wong: That he's a coward? The PRESIDENT: Senator Wong, it is not appropriate to repeat it. Senator Wong: I withdraw. The PRESIDENT: Thank you. Senator Watt.
