Senator SINODINOS (New South Wales) (14:44): Mr President, I ask a further supplementary question. My understanding is that the Assistant Treasurer refused to rule out the suggestion that that was the case. Is this a new protocol under the government in terms of consultation on market sensitive matters, virtually within days of the budget? Honourable members interjecting— The PRESIDENT: Order! Senator Faulkner interjecting— Senator Ian Macdonald interjecting— The PRESIDENT: Order! When there is silence at the back of the chamber—if you wish to have a discussion, you can go outside.
