QUESTIONS WITHOUT NOTICE

Senator McGRATH (Queensland) (15:02): So there is still no ruling out of the spare bedroom tax. Does Labor still stand by its claims to support housing as human right, or has the spare bedroom tax revealed it's more concerned about taxing hardworking Australians than protecting vulnerable families? Isn't this just mean?

Honourable senators interjecting— The PRESIDENT: Order! Order across the chamber! Senator Watt interjecting— The PRESIDENT: Senator Watt, which part of 'order' did you not understand?
