Senator WONG (South Australia—Minister for Foreign Affairs and Leader of the Government in the Senate) (14:06): I again say that we've done more in nine days than those opposite did in nine years. It's an inconvenient truth, Madam President. The PRESIDENT: Minister Wong, please resume your seat. Senator McGrath interjecting— The PRESIDENT: Senator McGrath, I've sat the minister down; I'm waiting for silence. Obviously, calling those senators on my left to order is having very little effect. I am the President. I am asking you to be silent, and that is what you should do. Senator WONG: Every single one of these 148 people arrived here before the election. Every single one of these people were still here because Mr Dutton failed to do his job. The government inherited laws that the High Court has ruled unconstitutional, and we have worked around the clock to fix the mess we've inherited. President— Opposition senators interjecting— Senator Watt interjecting— The PRESIDENT: Minister Wong, please resume your seat. Order, Senator Watt! Once again, order on my left. Minister Wong, please continue. Senator WONG: We've worked around the clock to fix the mess we've inherited. To ensure the opposition's support— Senator Cash interjecting— The PRESIDENT: Order! Senator Cash, I'm really struggling here. I don't know which part of order you don't understand. You are being incredibly disrespectful and disorderly. You are sitting on the frontbench of your party, and I would expect you to set an example, not encourage others to be calling out and being disrespectful. Minister Wong, please continue. Senator WONG: To ensure the opposition's support, we've offered them access to the relevant legal advice. You know what, they haven't made themselves available. Mr Tehan's been at the Jericho Cup races in Warrnambool. Senator Paterson is off visiting Harvard. Senator Cash is right here in the building. She's able to go up to Sky News, but she can't get to the minister's office! The PRESIDENT: Order! Order! Senator O'Sullivan, a point of order? Senator O'Sullivan: It is out of order to reflect on the presence or not presence of a senator [inaudible]. The PRESIDENT: Senator O'Sullivan, it refers to a senator's attendance in the chamber. I don't believe Minister Wong referred to the senators— Government senators interjecting— The PRESIDENT: Order on my right! Order on my right! It refers to whether a senator is present in the chamber or not, and it's not appropriate to refer to—Senator O'Sullivan, you are not in a debate with me!
