Senator WATT (Queensland—Minister for Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry and Minister for Emergency Management) (14:25): It wouldn't be question time without a Greens senator patronising everyone and telling us that we don't understand something, because that is a daily occurrence here. The PRESIDENT: Minister Watt, order! Senator WATT: Last week it was Senator Shoebridge patronising us, saying that we wouldn't understand how the law worked. The PRESIDENT: Minister Watt, Order! Senator WATT: Here comes the chief patroniser— The PRESIDENT: Order! Senator McKim on a point of order? Senator McKim: Thank you, President. That was clearly a personal reflection on Senator Allman-Payne. It was false as well as being contrary to standing orders. It needs to be withdrawn. The PRESIDENT: Thank you, Senator McKim, it does not need commentary. You may have noticed I was trying to call order. I was going to ask the minister to withdraw and remind the minister to make his comments through the chair. Senator WATT: I withdraw, and I will ensure that I make all parliamentary and unparliamentary remarks through you, President, in the future—but I withdraw. Honourable senators interjecting— The PRESIDENT: Minister Watt, I didn't find that funny, and I would expect all senators in this place not to make unparliamentary remarks. Thank you, Minister. Senator WATT: Thank you, President. Senator Allman-Payne, I can assure you that I do understand the need—through the chair, President. I can assure you, President, that I do understand Senator Allman-Payne's point. As I say, I don't need to take lectures from a Greens senator about public education, having been educated there myself and educated my kids there, and with almost my entire family being teachers in the public education system, but feel free to come in and give us a lecture any time. The Greens are good at giving lectures. What they are not good at is delivering anything for the Australian public. It is only a Labor government that is going to be delivering public education funding. Thank God we have a Labor government now to deliver the public education funding that we need, because we know it would never have happened under the coalition and we know that all schools wouldn't get the support that they need from a coalition government. (Time expired) The PRESIDENT: Order! I will remind all senators in this place that the standing orders provide for a senator to stand and make a point of order, particularly about unparliamentary behaviour. That means all senators need to also question their own behaviour. It is not okay to interject and wildly point at the minister.
