Senator THISTLETHWAITE (New South Wales) (14:10): Can the minister inform the Senate of the likely impact of Mr Abbott's 'Northern Exposure' policy on jobs in Western Sydney, and does the government support such changes? The PRESIDENT: Order! I do not think that is in order. You cannot ask a question about an opposition policy. You can ask about an alternative policy, but you cannot ask that. So that is out of order. Senator Joyce: Mr President, they are welcome to ask about our policy if they have made their own. The PRESIDENT: Senator Joyce, that is not even a point of order. I have given people before the opportunity to revamp the question. I have been quite consistent about that. You have the opportunity to make it conform to the standing orders. Senator THISTLETHWAITE: Can the minister inform the Senate of the likely impact of any alternative approaches to developing regional Australia and their effects on Western Sydney?
