Senator WATT (Queensland—Minister for Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry and Minister for Emergency Management) (15:00): Senator Pratt, I can certainly tell you that it's not by taking competition policy advice from the Greens political party. When the Nationals and the Greens are dictating the coalition's economic policy, you know the Liberals are in trouble. As we've heard, today's Australian had several unnamed Liberal MPs expressing angst over their supermarkets policy. I wonder who they could have been. Honourable senators interjecting— The PRESIDENT: Senator Watt, resume your seat. Minister Watt, please continue. Senator WATT: Who were those unnamed Liberals in the Australian today? Could they have been Senator Dean Smith, who in February said divestiture powers were 'ill conceived in the Australian context', or Senator Hume, who has said there's 'always concern with divestiture powers whether they will actually decrease prices'? The PRESIDENT: Senator McDonald, a point of order? Senator McDonald: The question was: what is the government doing to reduce supermarket prices? The PRESIDENT: Senator Watt, I will direct you back to the question. Senator WATT: Now the Nationals don't want to hear about their own supermarkets policy that they invented. We even had former Victorian Liberal premier Jeff Kennett say that this policy was 'madness' that 'would not bring down prices at the check-out'. Imagine being called mad by Jeff Kennett! That is the stage the modern Liberal Party has got to. To the Liberal moderates: if you want a balanced budget, come over here. (Time expired) Senator Wong: I ask that further questions be placed on the Notice Paper.
