Senator WONG (South Australia—Minister for Foreign Affairs and Leader of the Government in the Senate) (14:21): Again, statutorily, the decision is for Minister King, but— The PRESIDENT: Senator McKenzie, a point of order? Senator McKenzie: The minister did say 'but' as I was standing up, but we know who has the statutory responsibility. Our question has continually been: what role did the Prime Minister play, and what role did Qantas lobbying play, in the government's decision? The PRESIDENT: Senator McKenzie, I will remind you that Senator Cadell's question did reference, along with the Prime Minister, the infrastructure minister. Minister Wong, please continue. Senator WONG: The question asked for a range of matters that are within the decision-making purview of Minister Catherine King. As I said to you, Senator, there are obviously national interest considerations that any minister takes into account. In terms of meetings, I think anybody in this place knows that the aviation sector is not backward in coming forward in putting their views to all senators and members. I would be surprised if most people in this place, at some point, had not had a view put to them by various parts of the aviation sector. I didn't actually go to the event, but I understand— Senator Colbeck: Did they meet with Tony? Did you ask Tony? Did they ask you what you thought, Sterlo? The PRESIDENT: Senator Colbeck! Senator WONG: I would make the point that the aviation industry is an industry that is very clear about its views. (Time expired)
