Mr ALBANESE (Grayndler—Prime Minister) (14:55): I am asked the second question I have been asked today about Victoria. We know that in the last term of parliament, the attacks were pretty consistent from the former government against the Andrews government and we know how well that worked out for them, because the Andrews government received an increased majority when they went to the people of Victoria last year. The Victorian government has a $200 million structural adjustment package in its budget, given I have been asked about it. I certainly do support timber workers. Mr Chester interjecting— The SPEAKER: The member for Gippsland is warned. If he speaks again he will leave the chamber. Mr ALBANESE: Through the regional forestry agreements process, we work with states and territories to support Australia's forestry industry to operate under high standards for environmental management and sustainable harvesting. We need timber products and we want sustainable forestry jobs. Mr Pasin interjecting— The SPEAKE R: The member for Barker will leave the chamber under 94(a). The member for Barker then left the chamber. Mr ALBANESE: That's why we, the Commonwealth government, are investing $300 million to grow plantations, modernise our timber manufacturing infrastructure and build the skills of our forestry workforce. I note that through the National Reconstruction Fund we specifically set aside funding to support the forestry industry, but the member for Gippsland voted against it and everyone here voted against it as well. The SPEAKER: The member for Gippsland on a point of order? The Prime Minister has concluded his answer, so it is not about the answer. Mr Chester: Why do you hate timber workers so much? The SPEAKER: The member for Gippsland knows what he has just done there, which is completely unparliamentary, and he will keep walking out of the chamber. Member for Gippsland, before you leave, I am going to ask you to withdraw that last part of your statement. Just withdraw being gutless. Mr Chester: I want to understand on what basis, Mr Speaker. The SPEAKER: The phrase he used was unparliamentary. It is not only an abuse of standing orders; it's— Mr Chester: I acknowledge the abuse of standing orders and I withdraw the word 'hate'. Is that right? The SPEAKER: If you could just withdraw. Mr Chester: I am withdrawing. I withdraw. The SPEAKER: I thank the member. The member for Gippsland then left the chamber.
