QUESTIONS WITHOUT NOTICE

Senator WONG (South Australia—Minister for Foreign Affairs and Leader of the Government in the Senate) (14:04): I certainly have seen a fair bit of scaremongering lately. That is true. Honourable senators interjecting— The PRESIDENT: Sorry, Minister Wong.

Order! I've asked for order across the chamber. Senator Cox interjecting— Senator Cash: Can you drive a tanker— The PRESIDENT: Senator Cash, I've called for order and I'm waiting for order— Senator Watt interjecting— The PRESIDENT: Senator Watt!

I don't intend to call individual senators by their names. If I've called for order, there should be enough respect that you stop. Minister Wong.

Senator WONG: What I hope is that all of us can have the sort of responsible, disciplined, adult approach to this that the country needs, and that is the approach this government will be taking.
