Senator LUDWIG (Queensland—Minister for Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry and Minister Assisting on Queensland Floods Recovery) (14:42): I thank Senator Pratt for her second supplementary question. We do know that Mr 'Sloppy Joe' Hockey got rolled in his party room last night— The PRESIDENT: Senator Ludwig, you can withdraw that. Senator LUDWIG: I withdraw that; I apologise. So he would be hungry for a win. And now he has the IPA report, he has got his hit list ready and is ready to rock 'n' roll. Why do we not hear from the National Party? Because they have signed up to it. The doormat is for the Liberal Party. Why the Liberals are now arguing and arguing loudly is because— Government senators interjecting— The PRESIDENT: Order! I will give you the call, Senator Boswell, as I always do to people on their feet, when there is silence on my right. Senator Boswell: Mr President, I raise a point of order. How can you allow a question, based on an IPA report that has nothing whatsoever to do with the coalition, and allow the minister to use that report as some sort of an attack on the coalition, when IPA has nothing whatsoever to do with the coalition? The question is based on a lie, and I ask you to pull him up and to use your authority to get some order in this place. Senator Wong: Mr President, on the point of order. As much a Senator Boswell might like to distance himself from it, the IPA themselves have made public that this list is being discussed with some shadow ministers. If he does not like what is on the list, he can rule it out. The PRESIDENT: Order! This is debating the issue. There is no point of order. Minister, you have 25 seconds remaining. Senator LUDWIG: Of course, this list is really a hit list against regional Australia. If you look at the way it is going to be followed they can find some comfort from this, particularly from Premier Campbell Newman in Queensland, because their plan was very similar. They first said nothing. In fact, we all remember Premier Campbell Newman saying that the Public Service had nothing to fear. (Time expired)
