Senator GALLAGHER (Australian Capital Territory—Minister for the Public Service, Minister for Finance, Minister for Women, Manager of Government Business in the Senate and Vice-President of the Executive Council) (14:40): That question is just wrong. We are doing what we said we would do in terms of implementing our cost-of-living measures that we took to the election: cheaper child care, cheaper medicines. We have been dealing with the energy crisis that you opposed. The gall of you— The PRESIDENT: Minister, please resume your seat. Senator Hume, a point of order? Senator Hume: On the issue of relevance: I specifically asked about energy bills. The PRESIDENT: Yes, and you started with a couple of sentences around charity and increases, so I think the minister— Senator O'Neill int erjecting— The PRESIDENT: Order! Senator O'Neill, a point of order has been called, I'm responding to it, and all I can hear is you. I ask all senators to be respectful and to listen and be quiet. I believe the minister is being relevant, but I will continue to listen and I will direct her to the body of the question if she doesn't go there. Senator GALLAGHER: On energy—the gall, frankly, of being asked that question, when you opposed the cost-of-living relief in the bill that this Senate passed in December last year. It was over $1 billion to go to help with the cost of energy increases that occurred under your watch—that Minister Taylor hid before the election. The increases people are feeling now actually occurred under your government. We are dealing with it, and you opposed the money going in to get to households this year to help them to lower their energy bills by hundreds of dollars. You sat there and said no. (Time expired) The PRESIDENT: Senator Hume, a supplementary question?
