SenateMonday 7 September 2026

QUESTIONS WITHOUT NOTICE

Senator WONG (South Australia—Minister for Foreign Affairs and Leader of the Government in the Senate) (15:00): Well, Senator, through you President, I don't think anyone seriously believes that a party that advocates for higher taxes and higher deficits is capable of managing the Australian economy. I don't think Australians believe that a National Party, which is so much more focused on the politics of One Nation and their voter base than on outcomes that are actually good for Australians, are capable of managing the challenges in the Australian economy.

On that point, President, I ask that further questions be placed on the Notice Paper.
