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) (14:05): There was a lot of rubbish in that question, but on the question of food banks and emergency relief— Opposition senators interjecting— The PRESIDENT: Order! Minister Gallagher, please resume your seat. Senator Dean Smith interjecting— The PRESIDENT: Senator Smith, I've called the chamber to order, and that includes you. Minister Gallagher. Senator GALLAGHER: On the issue of food banks and emergency relief—and I note Senator Hume outlined in her question the important work that they do—this government has invested more into that sector to deal with the pressure— Senator Cash interjecting— The PRESIDENT: Senator Cash! Senator GALLAGHER: because they were—surprise, surprise—underfunded by those opposite— Senator Cash interjecting— The PRESIDENT: Senator Cash! Senator GALLAGHER: as was the entire non-government sector. The PRESIDENT: Minister, please resume your seat. Senator Cash, I called you twice and you continued to be disrespectful. Minister, please continue. Senator GALLAGHER: The entire non-government sector was underfunded when we came to government. We found services had not been properly indexed, not properly supported, and we have had to fix that up as well. I imagine that's an area that you would like to cut and slash as you did when you were last in government. This budget is responsible—it's tackling inflation and, most importantly, it's providing much-needed relief to households that are under pressure—and we will continue to focus on our plan.
