Senator FARRELL (South Australia—Minister for Trade and Tourism, Special Minister of State and Deputy Leader of the Government in the Senate) (14:24): The first observation I would make is that the federal government doesn't control rents; that is a matter for the state. But if this legislation was to have been supported, rather than being rejected by the Greens political party today, we would already be on the way to resolving some of the issues which you pretend that you're interested in solving. We've got a solution here. You heard the— The PRESIDENT: Minister Farrell, please resume your seat. Senator Faruqi? Senator Faruqi: My point of order is to relevance. My question was very tightly crafted and very straightforward about the government's position that rental increases of any amount should be legal. The PRESIDENT: Thank you, Senator Faruqi. Minister Farrell is being directly relevant to your question. Minister, please continue. Senator FARRELL: Thank you, President. Can I say to Senator Faruqi, just one aspect of the work that the Labor Party is doing to try and resolve this issue results in $600 million over the weekend, announced by the Prime Minister, to the people of New South Wales. We are serious about solving this problem. (Time expired)
