Senator McKENZIE (Victoria—Leader of the Nationals in the Senate) (15:05): Former Labor senator Graham Richardson described the Prime Minister's first attempt at punishment of Senator Payman like this: 'I thought it was very weak. I think Albo's made a mistake on this.' Hasn't this critique been proven right—that Mr Albanese's response was weak and has been proven to be a giant mistake? Given the Prime Minister hasn't been able to convince his own party to take his authority seriously and has been so comprehensively outplayed by Senator Payman, how can anyone else be expected to take him seriously? Honourable senators interjecting— The PRESIDENT: Order across the chamber! Senator McKenzie interjecting— The PRESIDENT: Senator McKenzie! Senator Hanson-Young interjecting— The PRESIDENT: Senator Hanson-Young, I've called order! Honourable senators interjecting— The PRESIDENT: Order! Minister Wong.
