Senator WONG (South Australia—Minister for Foreign Affairs and Leader of the Government in the Senate) (14:06): First, in relation to Talisman Sabre, senators may have seen that we had a UK led carrier strike group with the largest warship in the British navy, which the defence minister and I visited with our counterparts.

Senator WONG: Senator Ruston, maybe you could show them some respect. That matters. President, through you: to Senator Collins, she would understand that China is a great power in our region and we need to engage. That is not to diminish any other relationship. We know who our strategic partner is; it is the United States. But I think those opposite have not learned from the Dutton era, have they? (Time expired)
