Senator WATT (Queensland—Minister for Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry and Minister for Emergency Management) (14:05): Unfortunately, the strategy of the opposition over the last two weeks to trawl over leaked court documents and leaked text messages involving an alleged survivor of rape— The PRESIDENT: Minister Watt, please resume your seat. Senator Scarr? Senator Scarr: A point of order on relevance. This was a very direct question with respect to who knew what, when. The PRESIDENT: You've also mentioned the word 'settlement' and I can't put words in the minister's mouth. He can address the question in whatever way he chooses as long as he is relevant. I will continue to listen carefully. Senator WATT: As I say, the strategy of the opposition over the last couple of weeks has failed so spectacularly that they are now having to try to retrofit this strategy by clutching at straws and looking at— Senator Henderson: Hundreds of questions— The PRESIDENT: Senator Henderson! Senator WATT: things that don't actually exist to justify the indecent questions that they have spent the best part of two weeks asking. Senator Henderson: The indecent way you weaponise this issue! The PRESIDENT: Minister Watt, please resume your seat. Senator Henderson, I just called you to order. I've now had to sit the minister down and call you to order again. I would ask you to listen in silence. Senator WATT: I have no doubt that people will look back on the last two weeks to judge the relative character of the government and the opposition and the way they have dealt with these matters. There are any number of questions that the government could have asked of the opposition over the last couple of weeks, given the way things have turned out. How many of them have we asked? Not one. That's because some of us in this chamber have some decency; some of us in this chamber have some character, but, unfortunately, it doesn't look like there's a lot of it over there. (Time expired)
