Senator McLUCAS (Queensland—Parliamentary Secretary for Disabilities and Carers) (18:00): In taking note of the Australian Meat and Live-stock Industry Act 1997 report, I will say that livestock mortality is a particularly important issue for the Queensland community. I also raise a similarly important issue for the community of Queensland. During question time today, Senator Brandis indicated that the Prime Minister had not been to Queensland for some four months. That was incorrect. We were able to advise him that Prime Minister Gillard did go to St George to talk with the people there after dealing with a second significant flood. The Prime Minister also attended the unveiling of the 'pillar of courage' in the Alf Harris Park in Goodna on 11 January this year and also attended a flood anniversary lunch with SES volunteers in Ipswich. I thought it was important for the record in taking note of this document that we have the opportunity— Senator Ian Macdonald: Madam Acting Deputy President, I rise on a point of order. I know we allow a very wide latitude, but this document is the Australian Meat and Live-stock Industry Act 1997: Livestock mortalities during exports by sea report for the period 1 January to 30 June 2011. What that has to do with the Prime Minister attending functions in Queensland I just simply cannot understand. Whilst we do allow a lot of latitude, really, Senator McLucas having a little chat about what happened in question time cannot under any circumstances be said to be anything to do with livestock mortalities during exports by sea. The ACTING DEPUTY PRESIDENT ( Senator Pratt ): Senator Macdonald, that is probably the closest thing to a valid point of order I have heard you make in a long time. I am sure Senator McLucas can begin to draw her remarks to the relevant report. Senator McLUCAS: Absolutely. I was concluding my remarks. This report is extremely important to Queenslanders and it is also extremely important that we note that the Prime Minister has been to Queensland three times in the last two months.
