Senator GALLAGHER (Australian Capital Territory—Minister for the Public Service, Minister for Finance, Minister for Women, Manager of Government Business in the Senate and Vice-President of the Executive Council) (14:23): I reject the interjection from Senator Ruston. I know it's unparliamentary, but I just want to put on that record. Thank you, Senator McKim, we've had quite a lot of discussion about this over many years— Senator Ruston interjecting— Senator GALLAGHER: Sorry, President, it's quite distracting, with Senator Ruston's constant— Opposition senators interjecting— Senator GALLAGHER: It is! The PRESIDENT: I have called Senator Ruston to order a couple of times— Opposition senators interjecting— Senator GALLAGHER: She said it— The PRESIDENT: Order! Minister Gallagher, please resume your seat. Order across the chamber! Minister, please continue. Senator GALLAGHER: Whilst we want companies to be profitable in this country, because that's good for the economy and good for jobs, we also don't want anyone to be ripped off. That's why we, the government, are looking at our competition policy, and the work that's been done by Dr Andrew Leigh, but also the work that has been commissioned by the Treasurer—particularly the ACCC inquiry—and the work that Dr Craig Emerson is doing, in terms of the grocery code, to make sure that the settings are right and that we are protecting consumers' interests. I think we've all been to the supermarkets and the shops and seen price escalation, and the government is concerned and wanting to make sure that our settings are right, which is why that work is being undertaken. But I don't agree that it's as black and white as you believe. Senator McKim interjecting— Senator GALLAGHER: Well, I don't want to misquote the governor, but I don't believe it's as black and white as you would argue, Senator McKim—that it's all about companies doing the wrong thing. I think there are a number of inputs into inflation. We are mindful of our responsibilities to act where we can, and I think those reviews that have been ordered by the assistant to the Treasurer and the Treasurer are a good way of monitoring that, and making or acting on— (Time expired) The PRESIDENT: Senator McKim, a first supplementary?
