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) (14:36): Thank you. I think the problem the opposition are having here is that someone might actually act with some decency and integrity in this situation. I think that is the problem— Honourable senators inte rjecting— The PRESIDENT: Minister, please resume your seat. Order on both sides. Minister, please continue. Senator GALLAGHER: that someone would act in accordance with the request that had been made of them. That's what I did. That's exactly what I did. I can't be clearer. And on the interjection I heard about Senator Reynolds, when Senator Reynolds sought our help, we provided that to her. Opposition senators interjecting— The PRESIDENT: Minister Gallagher, please resume your seat. Senator Gallagher interjecting— The PRESIDENT: Order! These are very difficult questions and answers, and I am asking you all— Senator Rennick interjecting— The PRESIDENT: Senator Rennick! I am asking you all to listen with respectful silence. That goes right across this chamber. Do not call out. Minister, please continue. Senator GALLAGHER: I've answered the question. The PRESIDENT: Senator Ruston, a second supplementary?
