Senator FARRELL (South Australia—Minister for Trade and Tourism, Special Minister of State and Deputy Leader of the Government in the Senate) (14:52): Senator Henderson, I'd like to thank you personally for coming to the Sydney Institute last week to listen to my speech on trade. It was great to see you, and you might want to tell your colleagues the offer I made very publicly at that meeting. In our government, we're an action government, and you've seen that in everything we've done—certainly in my space, the trade and tourism space and as the SMOS. But there is something unique about our prime minister in that he has trust in his ministers. So if he appoints you to be a minister then he gives you the responsibility of looking after that— Honourable senators interjecting— The PRESIDENT: Order! Senator Henderson. Senator Henderson: A point of order, Madam President, on direct relevance. I was seeking information on whether the Minister for Climate Change and Energy consulted Minister Farrell before signing this agreement and, if so, when Minister Farrell first learned about this. The PRESIDENT: I will draw the minister to your question, Senator Henderson. Senator FARRELL: As I was saying, this prime minister gives his ministers the responsibility and, in the case of the issues that were raised at the COP, they were issues in the purview of Minister Bowen. I don't tell him how to run his portfolio; he certainly doesn't tell me how to run mine. I have noticed the criticism of Minister Bowen by the opposition. We have completely rejected that criticism of Minister Bowen. He's doing a fantastic job in this space. Just to give you one example of that: the battery scheme. The PRESIDENT: Minister, you've concluded? First supplementary, Senator Henderson?
