Senator WATT (Queensland—Minister for Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry and Minister for Emergency Management) (14:00): Thank you, Senator Duniam. Well, hasn't it been a bad weekend to be a Liberal? It's been a bad weekend to be a Liberal. We've had the Victorian election result, all those claims about— Senator D uniam: Madam President— Senator WATT: Fifteen seconds! Senator Duniam: Madam President— Honourable senators interjecting— The DEPUTY PRESIDENT: Sorry, Senator Duniam, I can't hear you for the noise in the chamber. Senator Duniam. Senator Duniam: Madam President, a point of order on relevance. I appreciate Senator Watts's observing of the weekend's events. I had a question about a question he answered last Thursday. The DEPUTY PRESIDENT: Thank you. Yes. I will direct the minister to the question. Please move to the question, thank you, Senator Watt. Senator WATT: As the Minister for Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry and the Minister for Emergency Management, I will admit that speaking to ACCI has not been my highest priority, because we have other ministers who have direct contact with them. But what I will say is that I have been having a lot of contact with stakeholders in my portfolio lately. One of the things they keep saying to me is that they are incredibly relieved to finally have a government that is prepared to actually get out there and listen to them on issues like agriculture, fisheries, forestry and emergency management, rather than National Party or Liberal Party ministers that used to walk in, lecture them and tell them how things were going to be without actually listening. So I'm very happy to talk about the relationships I've got with stakeholders in my portfolios. But, as I was saying, it has been a bad weekend to be a Liberal, especially in Victoria. I don't know how Senator Henderson must be feeling after all the carry-on that we saw from Senator Henderson in the weeks leading up to the election. But it wasn't just the Victorian election that made it a bad weekend to be a Liberal. We had more revelations about former Prime Minister Scott Morrison and all those tricks he played. The PRESIDENT: Senator Watt, you have drifted. I would draw your attention back to the question, thank you. Sen ator WATT: Thank you, President; I respect your ruling. I thought I had addressed the question by talking about the fact that I'd been concentrating on speaking to stakeholders in my portfolios rather than stakeholders in other portfolios. What is probably going to be hardest for the Liberal Party to accept this week is that the decade of low wages that they presided over is finally at an end, because we have reached agreement with Senator David Pocock as to our policies about industrial relations, and they are going to get wages moving again—something that we know certain employer groups don't want to support, and we certainly know the Liberal Party doesn't want to support. But those days are over, wages are going to get moving again, and that's going to be good for business too. (Time expired) The PRESIDENT: Senator Duniam, first supplementary.
