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

Thank you, Mr President. I wonder if we could raise the issue of direct relevance. The minister is happy to talk about the Labor Party, but we were actually asking him about Senator Back's quote, which was referring to the system of weighting that was being changed. The minister has not actually gone to that point. It is all very well for him to talk about the Labor Party, but we are asking about what Senator Back says about this minister's changes to the system of weighting.
