QUESTIONS WITHOUT NOTICE

Senator WONG (South Australia—Minister for Foreign Affairs and Leader of the Government in the Senate) (15:07): The Prime Minister made very clear we would not enter any minority government with the Greens—and we won't. We are in a chamber where—unless we have the opposition behaving responsibly—we have to negotiate to get our legislation through. We make no apology for making sure we negotiated to ensure that 13 million Australians got a tax cut.

We make no apology for that, and we will continue to do that until and unless we have people in this chamber who are prepared to actually give a fair go to working people, which is central to what this government wishes to do. The PRESIDENT: Senator Whitten, first supplementary?
