Penny Wong (SA, Australian Labor Party, Leader of the Opposition in the Senate) Share this | Hansard source

Mr President, I raise a point of order on relevance. The question was about cleaners in the department of immigration. It is not about any other industrial matter, as much as the minister would like to ignore it. While I am on my feet, if I may, Mr President, could I respectfully request that you consider the Hansard subsequent to this question time as to whether this minister, in fact, misled the Senate when he said that the pay cut was 'nothing to do with the removal of the guidelines'? I would ask that you consider that subsequently.
