Senator WONG (South Australia—Minister for Foreign Affairs and Leader of the Government in the Senate) (14:13): Congratulations to Senator McKenzie on getting a question—although I noticed that she hasn't asked a question of Senator Watt, and I have to say to her that she should have the courage to ask the senator a question about many of these issues. I'm very happy to answer. Opposition senators interjecting— Senator WONG: Would you like to stand up and say something? Opposition senators interjecting— The PRESIDENT: Order! Senator Hume? Senator Hume: A point of order on relevance: that was an answer that was nothing other than abuse of the person asking the question, when it was directed to the— The PRESIDENT: Senator Hume, resume your seat. I just reminded you, the last time you stood on a point of order, not to go into a statement, which is exactly what you did. I have said to all senators in this place that if you interject the minister is entitled to take the interjection. I would suggest, if everyone is serious about Senator McKenzie getting an answer to her question, that they listen in silence. Senator WONG: I would have thought that congratulating Senator McKenzie on getting a question was hardly an unfair thing to say, but, if she wants me to withdraw it, she knows I'm always happy to withdraw. I make the point that this government has invested an additional $3 billion in the agriculture portfolio. There's $1 billion more for biosecurity. Senator McKenzie: You're taxing the farmers. Senator WONG: For the first time there's sustainable biosecurity funding—something that you could never deliver. This government has worked to remove trade impediments with China. Senator McKenzie: It's why they don't vote for you. Senator WONG: Have a discussion with barley producers. Have a discussion with the barley industry. Senator McKenzie: You are a disaster. The PRESIDENT: Senator McKenzie, you have asked your question. You are interjecting and your voice is louder than the minister's and she has a microphone. I ask you to listen in silence. Minister Wong, please continue. Senator WONG: Thank you. We have worked to remove the trade impediments with China. I have met with many in the agricultural industries, particularly our barley industry, and I tell you that they're pretty happy with the additional money they are getting from those exports. Senator Watt: Fixing your mess again. Senator WONG: What was the figure, Senator Watt? The PRESIDENT: Senator Watt, this is not your question. Senator WONG: There's $6 billion more in the Australian economy as a consequence of those trade impediments being lifted. Let's talk about health care and the work that this government is doing to increase bulk-billing and to increase support into the regions for regional doctors—something that you could never deliver. You trumpet your support for regional Australia, but Labor is the one delivering to regional communities. The PRESIDENT: Senator McKenzie, first supplementary?
