Senator LAMBIE (Tasmania—Deputy Leader and Deputy Whip of the Palmer United Party in the Senate) (14:48): The minister has again failed to properly address my request for his support for an extra $5 billion. Mr President, I ask a further supplementary question. Can the minister explain to the chamber why he is prepared to fight for record amounts of Australian taxpayers' money to be sent to other countries—some of which have militaries 10 times the size of ours—while the sick, the needy, pensioners, parents, students, the unemployed and the battlers in his home state of Tasmania are being harmed by his government's— (Time expired) Senator Wong: Mr President, on a matter of courtesy: it is the senator's first question, so maybe we could give her a little bit of leeway to finish the sentence. Opposition senators interjecting— The PRESIDENT: Order, on my left! Your leader has made a request and I cannot fulfil that request until there is silence. Senator Lambie, do you have more to add to your question, which would be very brief? Senator Lambie: Yes, Mr President. Thank you. Can the minister explain to the chamber why he is prepared to fight for record amounts of Australian taxpayers' money to be sent to other countries—some of which have militaries 10 times the size of ours—while the sick, the needy, pensioners, parents, students, the unemployed and the battlers in his home state of Tasmania are being harmed by his government's budget cutbacks? The PRESIDENT: Before I call the minister, I advise the senator that the indulgence was granted for the first question but will not be granted for subsequent questions.
