Senator WATT (Queensland—Minister for Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry and Minister for Emergency Management) (14:04): I'm not going to get into matters that are completely the responsibility of a state and territory government, and that is— Senator Paterson: Ships and planes? Senator WATT: Well, the last time I looked there weren't ships floating around the ACT, unless you're talking about Lake Burley-Griffin— The PRESIDENT: President, a point of order: The minister has in the early stages gone to the 'I'm not going to get into a state or territory matter' response yet again. Yet the specific question asked by Senator Askew went very directly to the impact on matters outside of ACT territorial boundaries and the impact on Australian ships, Australian planes and other areas of law enforcement. I ask you draw the minister to the specifics of the question. Thank you, Senator Birmingham. I will draw the minister to the question. Senator WATT: What I can tell the Senate is that the Albanese government takes the border measures relating to the trafficking of illegal drugs extremely seriously, and I commend our Australian Border Force officers and the AFP for their hard work in ensuring that we keep as many of these substances out of Australia as possible. In fact, there has been an increased effort from the Australian Border Force on these matters. For the 2022-23 financial year, the ABF made 4,296 detections of cocaine at the border, with an estimated total weight of 4,769 kilograms. This represents— The PRESIDENT: Minister Watt, please resume your seat. Senator Birmingham. Senat or Birmingham: A further point of order on direct relevance. I appreciate the minister is talking about Commonwealth enforcement in relation to drug trafficking. However, again, the specific question asked by Senator Askew went to the enforcement of these laws and their applicability in other circumstances that are outside the ACT territory. It's specific to these laws about possession, not trafficking, and their applicability. If the minister doesn't know, he should take it on notice. The PRESIDENT: Thank you, Senator Birmingham, I'll remind the minister of the question. Senator WATT: This represents, in relation to cocaine, a 166 per cent increase in the weight of detections from the previous financial year. That's what's happening under the Albanese government. As for what the ACT government does, it's a matter for them to decide. (Time expired) The PRESIDENT: Senator Askew, a second supplementary?
