QUESTIONS WITHOUT NOTICE

Senator WONG (South Australia—Minister for Foreign Affairs and Leader of the Government in the Senate) (14:03): My recollection of the discussion paper is that some of these terms are actually drawn from existing legislation and existing policies. Senator Cash: So explain it then. Senator WONG: On the day that we have achieved agreement for passage to the Senate of these ambitious reforms which are about delivering for Australians, the opposition is complaining about consultation with small business.

Work that out. Work out that political strategy. On the day that we have achieved agreement of passage through this chamber of taxation legislation that is good for Australia, is good for Australian workers and good for Australian business, you are complaining about consultation with the small business sector.

The PRESIDENT: Senator Patterson, second supplementary?
