QUESTIONS WITHOUT NOTICE

Senator WHITTEN (Western Australia) (14:46): When Canada's Prime Minister, Mark Carney, came to this parliament, Prime Minister Anthony Albanese described him as a friend. Honourable senators interjecting— The PRESIDENT: I'm sorry, Senator Whitten; please resume your seat. Senator Whitten has the absolute right to ask his question in silence.

I'm going to ask you to start again, Senator Whitten, because I was struggling to hear you. Start the clock. Senator WHITTEN: When Canada's Prime Minister, Mark Carney, came to this parliament, Prime Minister Anthony Albanese described him as a friend.

He went on to describe all the similarities between Australia and Canada as middle-power economies powered by resources and critical minerals. Under Prime Minister Carney, immigration was cut to negative levels. Is it the opinion of the Labor government that Prime Minister Carney has been reckless and has attempted to kill the economy, as you have stated about One Nation's negative migration policy?
