QUESTIONS WITHOUT NOTICE

Senator WONG (South Australia—Minister for Foreign Affairs and Leader of the Government in the Senate) (15:45): Again, I find the way you're personalising this uncomfortable.

Senator WONG: Does anybody want me to answer the question, or are you just going to interject? At the moment, I've got Senator McKenzie, Senator Shoebridge— Honourable senators interjecting— Senator WONG: I'm trying to answer your question, Senator Pocock. The PRESIDENT: Order across the chamber!
