Senator FARRELL (South Australia—Minister for Trade and Tourism, Special Minister of State and Deputy Leader of the Government in the Senate) (14:14): I thank Senator Cash for her question. The cashless debit card was obviously a controversial issue going into the last election. We as an opposition took to the Australian people the proposition that we should remove the cashless debit card. One of the first things that the new Minister for Social Services, Minister Rishworth, did was to introduce legislation into this place— The PRESIDENT: Senator Farrell, please resume your seat. Senator Cash? Senator Cash: President, I think it's pretty obvious that my point of order is on relevance. Senator Farrell, could you at least direct your comments to the alcohol fuelled violence in Laverton. The PRESIDENT: Senator Cash, the minister is being relevant. You have asked about the CDC. He is entitled to put the government's reasons for its abolition. Minister, please continue. Senator FARRELL: We took the proposition to the Australian people, and that included people in Western Australia and— Senator Cash: Don't insult us. The people in Laverton said no. Senator FARRELL: The people in Western Australia voted overwhelmingly for an Anthony Albanese Labor government. Senator Cash, you know as well as I do the number of seats that your government lost in Western Australia. So all I'm saying is— Senato r Ruston interjecting— The PRESIDENT: Order, Senator Ruston! Minister, please continue. Senator FARRELL: We took our policy to the last election. Senator Cash, you would be appalled if we didn't do what we said we were going to do. (Time expired) T he PRESIDENT: Senator Cash, a supplementary question?
