Senator WONG (South Australia—Minister for Foreign Affairs and Leader of the Government in the Senate) (12:43): It's a pleasure to be given the opportunity to speak in this debate and to observe yet again two things. One is that the opposition are desperate not to get to the electricity legislation that the Senate previously agreed to resolve before one o'clock, and so we got a bit of sour grapes from Senator Cash and her team, who didn't like the fact that they lost the amendment before and that the Senate will deal with the electricity legislation before one o'clock. So they've come up with this great idea to come into the chamber and try to blow up the chamber so we don't get to that legislation. So let's be very clear about the tactical reason for this. It is because they don't want to vote on the electricity legislation that the Senate has previously agreed to resolve in the next 15 minutes. At least be upfront about it. At least be honest with the Senate. Honourable senators interjecting— The ACTING DEPUTY PRESIDENT ( Senator O'Neill ): Senators, order! Senator WONG: Senator McKenzie and Senator Cash, that is the case. We know that they don't like it when they lose a vote. They don't like it when they have to vote on a bill that they oppose. They certainly don't like renewable energy—we know that—particularly under Senator Cash, now that Senator Birmingham is gone. Senator McKenzie interjecting— The ACTING DEPUTY PRESIDENT: Senator McKenzie, you have been called to order over a number of infractions. You are continuing to yell at another senator across the chamber in a manner that is entirely unfit for this place. I have called you by your name. I will say to you to retain your silence for the rest of the contribution of the Leader of the Government in the Senate. You have the call, Minister Wong. Senator WONG: Thank you. I appreciate your protection, Acting Deputy President. I really do, because the reality is that those opposite are running this as a tactic, and they should be honest about it. The ACTING DEPUTY PRESIDENT: The time for this debate has expired. The PRESIDENT: The question is that Senator Cash's motion to suspend be agreed to.
