Senator WONG (South Australia—Minister for Foreign Affairs and Leader of the Government in the Senate) (14:59): Well, I know that everywhere in Australia would have had higher prices if you were in government. That's what we do know, and we know that prices have risen by less than they would have as a result of the government's policy which you voted against. Opposi tion senators interjecting— The PRESIDENT: Order! Senator Wong. Senator WONG: Those opposite—not only did they vote against price relief, they also think that the way you deal with energy prices— Honourable senators interjecting— The PRESIDENT: Order! Senator Wong! Order! It is not appropriate for the noise levels— Senator Birmingham interjecting— The PRESIDENT: Senator Birmingham, I've called the chamber to order. It is not appropriate for the noise level in here to get so loud that the senator can't hear me calling her to order. It is not appropriate to shout across the chamber on both sides. I would ask senators to listen respectfully. Minister, please continue. Senator WONG: Not only do those opposite think that an answer to rising prices is to vote against price relief, they think an answer to rising prices is to hide them. Before the last election, their response to rising energy prices was, 'Let's change what the DMO actually is disclosed to be'! Opposition senators interjecting— Senator Carol Brown interjecting— The PRESIDENT: Order! Senator Brown! Senator WONG: That's what Mr Taylor did. Well, we on this side understand what families are facing and we're trying to do something about it. (Time expired) The PRESIDENT: Senator Cash, a first supplementary.
