Senator WATT (Queensland—Minister for Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry and Minister for Emergency Management) (14:40): I've already said in my first answer and my second answer that I have communicated my view about this, and that includes to the coordinator-general of the National Emergency Management Agency, Mr Brendan Moon, someone with an incredible track record in emergency management that we hired to replace another individual, called Mr Shane Stone. Brendan Moon has been doing an outstanding job as the head of the National Emergency Management Agency. Now, unlike the former government— The PRESIDENT: Senator Davey? Senator Davey: On a point of order—that was highly disrespectful to a former commissioner. He may not be a member of this parliament, but I think we still need to show respect. The PRESIDENT: I did not hear any particular comments, so I'm going to ask Senator Watt to continue. Senator WATT: I invite you to look at the Hansard, where I said that Mr Moon replaced another individual, by the name of Mr Shane Stone. I'm not sure what's offensive about that. Is it 'individual', 'name'? I'm not quite sure, but anyway. This government has demonstrated from day one that we take the issues around disaster management far more seriously than ever happened under the former government. We actually showed up, we actually turned up, and delivered support to people. We actually cooperated with the states rather than had fights with them. And we are taking seriously the need for funding of the National Emergency Management Agency, unlike a government that was on track to cut funding by 25 to 30 per cent.
