Senator LUDWIG (Queensland—Minister for Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry, Manager of Government Business in the Senate and Minister Assisting the Attorney-General on Queensland Floods Recovery) (14:03): I indicated in answer to the first question that the package is designed as a $30 million package to provide those with immediate assistance in the industry. The government remains committed to supporting the industry throughout the suspension period. We are focused on getting the trade back up and running as quickly as possible, because that is the best form of assistance that the industry can be provided with. Of course if you do require information about the package, the government's assistance line is 1800 808869. Those on the other side of course— Opposition senators interjecting— The PRESIDENT: If people were not shouting out, it might help me; I am trying to listen to the answer. Senator Ian Macdonald interjecting— The PRESIDENT: Senator Macdonald, I do not need you to intervene, thank you. Senator Fisher: Mr President, on a point of order: rather than call a blah, blah, blah phone line, the question is clear. Exactly how will the government's assistance help a cattle producer who now needs to destock by several thousand head due to the minister's incompetent oversight making the cattle producers' market vanish overnight? The PRESIDENT: There is no point of order. Senator Ludwig, you have got 14 seconds remaining to address the question. Senator LUDWIG: Those on the other side, of course, would sentence cattle to continued cruelty in ensuring that they would continue to have this trade without putting a supply— (Time expired) Senator FISHER: Mr President, a point of order before I ask a further supplementary question: I ask that the minister withdraw his comment and implication that we on this side somehow condone torture of cattle, be they Australian or of any nationality because, after all, animals know no borders. The PRESIDENT: There is no point of order, Senator Fisher.
