QUESTIONS WITHOUT NOTICE

Senator WONG (South Australia—Minister for Foreign Affairs and Leader of the Government in the Senate) (14:04): Again, we are happy on this side of the chamber with the size and the composition of the parliament. I would say to you, Senator, though, it does seem slightly odd that I have had lectures from you about being out of touch, but, in the middle of a fuel crisis, a conflict in the Middle East and the largest global shock to energy markets in Australian history, you want to talk about yourself.

The PRESIDENT: Minister, please resume your seat. Government senators interjecting— The PRESIDENT: Order, senators on my right! Senator McGrath: On a point of order, I seek to table the costings from the PBO showing $600 million of taxpayer— The PRESIDENT: Senator McGrath, resume your seat.

Minister Wong, had you concluded your answer? Senator WONG: Yes, thank you.
