Senator WONG (South Australia—Minister for Foreign Affairs and Leader of the Government in the Senate) (14:16): Well, we did see the comments of the President of the United States and we'll continue to engage. I would say the advice to date is the US position is still being determined. I would make the point, through you, President, that obviously a change to the baseline tariff wouldn't just affect Australia; it would affect all countries who are subject to the baseline tariff. As you know, we are subject to the baseline tariff, not higher tariffs as other countries are. We are confident of our competitive position, and you would have seen that this government has made a great effort to open up more markets, in terms of the China market and other markets in our region, but also the United Arab Emirates and other diversification. This is about trade which is good for the economy. Senator Cash: This is about the United States. Senator WONG: Senator Cash, I'll take the interjection. The thing is that Australians do understand that the US administration is taking a different approach on this. Australians do understand the challenges that we face— Senator Watt interjecting— Senator Cash interjecting— The PRESIDENT: The interjections across the chamber are disorderly. Senator Watt and Senator Cash, the Minister is answering the question. Minister. Senator WONG: Perhaps I'll go back to this point. It is clear that President Trump envisages a different role for the US in the world, and that includes in relation to trade, and that change is much greater than the first time he was President of the United States. I think Australians do understand, President, the challenges that we face as a consequence of that. What I would say is we can be confident of our ability to navigate these changes together. It is disappointing that the coalition have no interest in working together. It's the same negativity from the sidelines about Australia's engagement with the Trump administration. (Time expired) The PRESIDENT: Senator Cash, first supplementary?
