Senator WONG (South Australia—Minister for Finance and Deregulation) (14:16): Senator Cormann asking me about budget neutrality! How embarrassing, after Senator Cormann was rolled by his party and rolled by his leader. It appears that not only are Senator Cormann and Mr Robb grouchy but also Ms Bishop is grouchy, with it being said, 'Julie said this is another hit on the bottom line.' Well, it is. It is very embarrassing, I know, Senator. Senator Ian Macdonald: Mr President, on a point of order—I should not even need the call: how can you possibly accept that this minister is being directly relevant when all she has done so far is attack the questioner. I refer you to the standing order requiring direct relevance and ask you to either get the minister to answer it or sit her down—and you have power to do that, Mr President. The PRESIDENT: The minister has 37 seconds remaining to answer the question. I draw the minister's attention to the question. Senator WONG: I am making the point about budget neutrality, which is one of the assertions that Senator Cormann made. Senator Cormann comes in here to talk about budget neutrality. He has an unfunded scheme that will cost $1,300 per year per Australian household, and he calls himself one of the economic spokespeople. What a joke! At least Mr Robb was excluded from the meeting. Senator Cormann interjecting— Senator WONG: I guess they thought you were easier to roll. Honourable senators interjecting— The PRESIDENT: Order! On both sides, I have got noise. I am not proceeding. When there is silence on both sides I will hear Senator Brandis. Senator Brandis: Mr President, a point of order on the question of direct relevance: with nine seconds to go on a question about compensation, the minister has done nothing other than ridicule the opposition in relation to other areas of policy. It might be a pretty speech, but it has nothing whatsoever to do with the question. The PRESIDENT: Senator Brandis, I have drawn the minister's attention to the question. The minister has nine seconds remaining to answer the question. Senator WONG: Consistent with Treasury advice and with the Charter of Budget Honesty, the government has released the detailed analysis showing the budget impact over the forward estimates. I invite the opposition to do the same.
