Senator WONG (South Australia—Minister for Finance and Deregulation) (14:01): I am asked about the Audit Office report into the Clean Energy Future campaign. I am very pleased to respond on that report because that was a report that was invited by the Leader of the Opposition, who claimed the advertising was misleading, and the ANAO has confirmed a range of facts to which the Leader of the Opposition, Mr Abbott, pointed when he was asserting the campaign was misleading. The Audit Office has confirmed that it is a fact that around 500 companies will be covered by the carbon price— Senator Brandis: Mr President, I rise on a point of order. The minister is required to be directly relevant to the question. The question was about a consultant's report upon which the ANAO report relied and specific findings by the consultant—not about the findings of the ANAO itself on other matters. Senator Arbib: Mr President, on the point of order, Senator Wong is being directly relevant to the question. Senator Brandis might not like the answer, but she is being directly relevant. Honourable senators interjecting— The PRESIDENT: Order! The minister has one minute 22 remaining. I believe the minister is addressing the question. I am listening to the minister's answer closely, and the minister needs to come to the matter. Senator WONG: I can also confirm that the ANAO confirmed that a number of other statements that the opposition were complaining of were correct, including that the government will use more than half the carbon price revenue to assist households and that nine out of 10 households will receive assistance through tax cuts, increased family benefits or higher pensions or other payments. In relation to the effectiveness or otherwise of the campaign, I do not have any briefing on the specific quote in a consultant's report to the ANAO to which Senator Brandis is referring, but I would say this: the opposition made a range of claims that were inaccurate, asserting that the facts in the campaign were false, and Mr Abbott's allegations have been found to be untrue, have been found to not be correct. Senator Conroy: In other words: liar, liar, pants on fire! Senator WONG: I could take Senator Conroy's interjection, which is probably somewhat more pithy.
