QUESTIONS WITHOUT NOTICE

Senator WONG (South Australia—Minister for Foreign Affairs and Leader of the Government in the Senate) (14:52): I do hope that members of the Liberal Party listened to that question and recognised that the result in South Australia, the success of that party over there, is fuelled by your preferences. You are delivering them votes and seats in South Australia.

I hope you think about that. I hope you think about that. I hope you think about that.

I hope you think about the fact that you are fuelling support for the party that is now cannibalising you. You are fuelling their support. Honourable senators interjecting— The PRESIDENT: Order!

I would ask all senators to please refrain from (1) interjecting, and (2) pointing across the chamber. Senator WONG: You use the phrase 'everyday Australians'. Well, everyday Australians come from all walks of life, all faiths, all backgrounds.

That's what we believe. Everyday Australians come as Hindus, as Sikhs, as Muslims, as Christians, as members of the Jewish community. They are all everyday Australians.

(Time expired) The PRESIDENT: I will just advise the Senate that Senator Babet has given his question to Senator Whitten.
