Senator THORPE (Victoria—Independent VIC Whip) (14:30): My question is for the Minister for Indigenous Australians, Senator McCarthy. Last week, the Territory Labor candidate for the Nightcliff by-election said, 'Territory Labor is proud to now oppose the federal Labor government's plan to destroy Larrakia country at Binybara/Lee Point.' Your Labor colleagues in the Territory have backflipped against you and now want this project to be cancelled. Will you as Minister for Indigenous Australians ensure your government listens to your NT colleagues and scraps this ecocidal project, or do you still want the destruction of Larrakia country to go ahead? The PRESIDENT: Minister Wong? Senator Wong: Can I indicate that, as I understand it, that project to which the senator refers— The PRESIDENT: Is this a point of order? Senator Wong: I apologise. You're correct—a point of order on the person to whom the question is directed, President. As I understand it, this project is a project that is managed by Defence Housing Australia, so the responsible minister would be, I think, Senator McAllister. I invite the senator— Senator McKenzie: She asked it of the Minister for Indigenous Australians. Senator Wong: Again, I'd remind the Senate that the Westminster system gives ministers accountability to the parliament for those areas and portfolios for which they are responsible, and so the appropriate question should go to the minister representing the responsible minister. The PRESIDENT: Senator Thorpe, did you wish to redirect that question to Minister McAllister? Senator THORPE: No, I don't. This is very relevant to the Minister for Indigenous Australians. The PRESIDENT: What I will say to you is that the minister will answer it in the way that she sees fit, because the leader of the government has indicated it's a question more appropriately directed to Minister McAllister, but you've indicated you want Minister McCarthy, so I'll direct her to answer the question.
