Senator WONG (South Australia—Deputy Leader of the Government in the Senate and Minister for Finance and Deregulation) (14:53): Thank you, Mr President.

Honourable senators interjecting— The PRESIDENT: Senator Wong, resume your seat. Order! When there is silence, we will proceed. Senator WONG: Thank you, Mr President. For someone to suggest that the high dollar— Honourable senators interjecting— The PRESIDENT: Senator Wong, resume your seat. Order! On both sides! Senator WONG: Thank you, Mr President. For someone to suggest that the high dollar does not matter is entirely ridiculous. I would suggest that Senator Edwards go down to manufacturers in Adelaide and say, 'Guess what? High dollar don't matter! High dollar don't matter!' I am sure they would really agree with that, Senator Edwards. And how ridiculous, again: the GFC is just a glib excuse, we just made it up!

The fact that what has happened to the US economy, what has happened to the European economies, what has happened to the global economy—no, it is just all a plot by the Australian Labor Party! You are ridiculous! (Time expired) Honourable senators interjecting— The PRESIDENT: When there is silence, I will give Senator Xenophon the call. You are entitled to be heard in silence as well.
