Senator WONG (South Australia—Minister for Finance and Deregulation) (14:42): If you ever wanted an indication of a whole range of conspiracy theories from Senator Bernardi, you have seen them. He claims in that question that the mining tax is to blame—the mining tax that does not apply to the resources that are being mined at Olympic Dam. I would have thought that as a South Australian he would know that. But never let the truth get in the way of a good scare campaign when it comes to the Right of the coalition, the Right of the Liberal Party! I also note his reference to union militancy. I have no idea what he is talking about other than perhaps the agenda from the coalition which they refuse to confess to, which is that they want a reduction in wages and conditions. That is what they are really talking about when they come into here and talk about union militancy. Senator Bernardi: Mr President, I raise a point of order on relevance. I asked if the minister could categorically rule out any number of factors in determining BHP's decision. In respect to union militancy, might I remind the senator that her storming the gates of Parliament House before she was a senator is the sort of unattractive union activity that we do not like. The PRESIDENT: There is no point of order. The minister is addressing the question. The minister has one minute and 11 seconds remaining. Senator WONG: The decision to shelve the Olympic Dam expansion was for reasons known to the BHP board, and the reasons that they have advised the market are the ones to which I have referred to on numerous occasions already in this question time. If the senator does care about job opportunities in South Australia he should get up and support the investment in Holden, which his party opposes, and the investment in the submarines—the largest defence project in Australia's history—which Mr Hockey says he does not want to build in Adelaide. He is not interested in putting them in Adelaide. And the senator should get up and oppose the per capita GST distribution, which would cost our state a billion dollars, and which Mr Abbott says that he thinks is a sensible way to go. That is what the senator should do if he really cares about the economy of his home state of South Australia. (Time expired)
