Senator WATT (Queensland—Minister for the Environment and Water) (14:23): I'm not quite sure what the question was, but it's interesting that we see Senator Waters making something of parties working with the coalition when it was only last Thursday that we saw the Greens vote with the coalition to disrupt the convention here around question time. It was only before the election that we saw the Greens vote with the coalition to stop environmental reforms happening— Senator Waters: I've a point of order on relevance. I'm asking about environment reforms. I know the minister feels deeply uncomfortable about what he's proposing—or at least he should—but I would like him to answer the question. The PRESIDENT: Senator Waters, please don't get into a debate. I will draw the minister to your question. Senator WATT: As I was saying, speaking of environmental reform, it was only a few months ago that we saw the Greens party vote with the coalition to block these environmental reforms from happening, just like they did the last time Labor was in government as well. It's news to me that BP, Chevron and the Minerals Council have supported these reforms. I haven't seen that. The PRESIDENT: Minister Watt, please resume your seat. Senator Hanson-Young? Senator Hanson-Young: I'd just like to draw your attention to the minister's gross misrepresentation of what occurred in the Senate. There was no vote. The government withdrew their bill— The PRESIDENT: Senator Hanson-Young, please resume your seat. Senator Hanson-Young: You can't purport a vote that hasn't happened! The PRESIDENT: Senator Hanson-Young, please resume your seat! Senator Hanson-Young interjecting— The PRESIDENT: Senator Hanson-Young, for the third time, resume your seat. Those are debating points. Senator WATT: What I have noticed in the last few days is support for these reforms from the Housing Industry Association, the Clean Energy Council and the Ai Group. It's those kinds of groups that the coalition or the Greens should be listening to so that we can deliver the renewables our country needs, along with the housing and the environmental protections that we need. The PRESIDENT: Senator Hanson-Young? Senator Hanson-Young: I would ask you to reflect— The PRESIDENT: Why are you standing? Senator Hanson-Young: It's a point of order. You're the President. It's a point of order I am making to you. The PRESIDENT: You need to say that when you stand, Senator Hanson-Young. Senator Hanson-Young: It's a request to you, President. I ask you to reflect on the ruling you just made about whether a minister can misrepresent a vote that has occurred— The PRESIDENT: Senator Hanson-Young, I will certainly reflect, but I indicated to you that you were getting into the realm of making statements.
