Senator RYAN (Victoria) (14:49): My question is to the Minister representing the Prime Minister, Senator Evans. I refer the minister to comments made by fund manager Pengana Emerging Companies, who said last week: A strongly led government regardless of who is actually in power must be preferable to the current state of flux. Given the events of the past week, is it not the case that the only way Australia can again be led by a strong, stable and competent government is if we give the Australian people what they want—a fresh election to remove this weak, incompetent, divided and dysfunctional Labor Party? Honourable senators interjecting— The PRESIDENT: Order on both sides! I remind you that the time to debate this is after 3 o'clock. When you are ready, Senator Cormann and Senator Wong. If you wish to debate the issue, Senator Ludwig, the time is post question time.
