Rex Patrick (SA, Nick Xenophon Team) Share this | Hansard source

Minister, you are the crossbench whisperer: the deal maker. What effect do you think this breach of agreement with NXT will have on all future crossbench negotiations? Does the government think that the departure of Mr Xenophon from this chamber means agreements previously reached between NXT and the government are null and void? Your government's actions certainly seem to indicate that risky and foolish approach.
