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) (15:00): Again, I reject the use of the word 'cap'. There has been double the number of applications come in for assessment through PBAC. We have a system in place that manages how those submissions are dealt with. If you were in government right now, it would be exactly the same for you, so the fact that you are politicising the safety— Senator Ruston interjecting— The PRESIDENT: Order! Senator Ruston. Senator GALLAGHER: and regulatory assessments of medicines in this country is outrageous. We have a certain amount that can be dealt with at the March meeting, so the minister has asked PBAC, has directed PBAC, to hold an additional meeting— The PRESIDENT: Minister, please resume your seat. Minister Wong, on a point of order? Senator Wong: Senator Ruston has been called numerous times and she has ignored your requests. Senator Ruston interjecting— The PRESIDENT: Senator Ruston, it is not a matter of whether your comments are acceptable or unacceptable; they are rude and disorderly and disrespectful. I have asked you several times to be quiet when a minister is answering the question, so I am going to request that you do that, or your choice is to leave the chamber. Minister Gallagher, please continue. Senator GALLAGHER: The fact that this is going to be used politically, it seems, is a real shame because the real issue here is that there aren't enough independent assessors to do the work to deliver all of those submissions in a three-day meeting in March, so an extra one has been called for May so that things can be managed as quickly as possible. The PRESIDENT: Senator Kovacic, a second supplementary?
