Senator WONG (South Australia—Minister for Foreign Affairs and Leader of the Government in the Senate) (14:37): If I may, President, I will first say to the delegates from Timor-Leste: [language not transcribed]. You are very welcome here. In relation to the question from Senator Cash, obviously this matter is before the High Court. Her question goes to a matter that not only is before our most senior jurisdiction but is, of course, a hypothetical. I'm sure she would be unsurprised— Senator Cash: $700 million is not a hypothetical. Senator WONG: Senator, you and I both know— Senator Cash interjecting— The PRESIDENT: Senator Cash, you've asked your question. Minister Wong, please continue. Senator WONG: You and I both know that it's not the practice in this place for us to prejudge what might occur in matters before the court. You and I both know as well that this is a matter that any government would have to deal with. Any government would have to deal with a judgement of the High Court. So my answer to you is that I certainly won't be speculating in the way you seek to— Senator Cash: There is no contingency. The PRESIDENT: Order! Minister, do you wish to continue? Senator WONG: I certainly won't be speculating as— Senator Cash: Just wing it. The PRESIDENT: Senator Cash, I have called you to order a number of times, and I would request that you— Senator Cash: The chamber's almost silent. The PRESIDENT: I can hear what you're saying very clearly. It is disorderly. I appreciate that you're not using a very loud voice but, equally, Senator Wong is not using a loud voice, so that means the whole tone of the chamber needs to come down, including interjections. Minister Wong, please continue. Senator WONG: I simply say that I would assume that, as the shadow Attorney-General, she might actually respect the judicial process. I know that this might be an alien concept to you, Senator, but we have a separation of powers, and we have a judicial process, and, as the person who aspires to be the nation's first law officer, I would have thought you might show the judicial process a little more respect. We know what you are doing here. My advice to you, Senator—why don't you show the High Court some respect? The PRESIDENT: Senator Cash, a first supplementary?
