QUESTIONS WITHOUT NOTICE
Senator McALLISTER (New South Wales—Minister for the National Disability Insurance Scheme) (15:00): Paid prac is fundamentally about supporting hardworking students by paying them to train for their next job. Now, we're extending the same courtesy, the same arrangements to future psychologists, pharmacists and podiatrists that others in this place have extended to themselves.
Almost every member of the opposition who doesn't have one foot out the door seems to be doing paid prac at the moment for their next job. Senator Antic's paid prac seems to involve preparing himself for a future in One Nation. Senator McKenzie is doing some paid prac in marketing.
She's got very strong views about how One Nation should be spending their advertising budget and in what seats. And, honestly, who knows what the shadow Treasurer is actually training for, but it's certainly not his current role. He's off on Sky explaining that he sees himself as Tigger from Winnie the Pooh.
Those opposite are not focused on the Australian people. They are focused on themselves, their own jobs and their future roles elsewhere. Senator Wong: I ask that further questions be placed on the Notice Paper.
