QUESTIONS WITHOUT NOTICE

Senator WONG (South Australia—Minister for Foreign Affairs and Leader of the Government in the Senate) (14:55): I fuelled my car up on the weekend—my personal car—and I think it was about $2.60-something at the time. I hope we see lower prices in the days to come. Senator Hume interjecting— The PRESIDENT: Minister Wong has concluded her answer.

Senator Hume, second supplementary? Senator Hume: Direct relevance—and I was on my feet. The PRESIDENT: The minister has concluded her answer.

Senator Hume: She didn't answer the question, though. That was direct relevance. I asked about yesterday and today, not the weekend.

The PRESIDENT: Senator Hume, I'm not quite sure what you expect I cannot rewind here. The minister had concluded her answer. Please ask your second supplementary.

Senator McGrath: The bowsers don't lie! The PRESIDENT: Senator McGrath, I'm sure you can see that Senator Hume is on her feet. Order!
