Senator ABETZ (Tasmania—Leader of the Government in the Senate, Minister Assisting the Prime Minister for the Public Service and Minister for Employment) (14:05): First of all, can I inform the honourable senator that, even with my reading glasses on, I cannot see in this brochure, when referring to the removal of the carbon tax, that it was subject to an ETS being implemented. You left that out somewhere in the fine print. Senator Moore: Mr President, my point of order is on direct relevance. We are talking about a consultative process. The minister has come nowhere near that in his answer. The PRESIDENT: The minister has so far had 15 seconds to answer the question. I remind the minister of the question. Senator ABETZ: I am sure Senator Singh well recalls the introduction to her question, which one is allowed to address, suggesting that somehow there was this caveat on the repeal of the carbon tax, conveniently not mentioned in the Labor Party's propaganda. So let's be very clear in relation to the Labor Party's stance on this: flip, flop, flip, flop, saying— The PRESIDENT: Pause the clock. Senator Wong: Mr President, the minister was asked about the consultation mechanism process and the government's price pass through. He has not answered that question. The PRESIDENT: There are 17 seconds left remaining to answer the question. I remind the minister of the question. Senator ABETZ: The difficulty the Labor Party has is, when you have smart alec introductions to your question, the minister is entitled to respond. Senator Moore: Mr President, I rise on a point of order. The PRESIDENT: Pause the clock. Senator ABETZ: But in relation to the specifics— The PRESIDENT: I have paused the clock, Minister. Senator Moore, there is eight seconds left, and I think you could hear the minister was getting to the answer. Do you still want to pursue it? Senator Moore: I just wanted to make sure the minister was getting close there, Mr President. The PRESIDENT: I will not take it as a point of order at this point in time. Minister, you have eight seconds remaining. Senator ABETZ: Just learn how to draft your questions and you will be a lot better off. Can I say that we have consulted with relevant business organisations to ensure that the flow-through will be effective. (Time expired)
