Tension breaks out in the Rural and Regional Affairs Senate estimates about EPBC

Transcript

00:00But I have to take that notice and check with colleagues that would not be at this outcome.

00:04Not something I'm aware of, Senator McKenzie, and I think it's desperate that the National

00:08Party keep going down these scare campaigns, particularly after losing Barnaby Joyce, the

00:13former leader, who's obviously ditched the National Party.

00:16Well, political point scoring.

00:18All you have to do is go down scare campaigns.

00:21This is not a scare campaign.

00:23One after the other that the National Party do.

00:24That's all you've got.

00:25This is absolutely the life of a deal.

00:27Order.

00:27Your government will do to get the EPBC changes across the line.

00:33Scare campaign after scare campaign.

00:35We saw it yesterday.

00:35It's not a scare campaign.

00:36Senator McKenzie, order.

00:39Resume your seats.

00:40Resume your seats.

00:42So I'm asking for the microphone, please.

00:45How many times do I have to sit in this room here and ask people to, if you're asking a

00:51question, at least have the decency to listen to the answer.

00:54No, no, no.

00:55Stop.

00:55And the other way around.

00:56I read it into the opening statement about how we deal with each other and you're screaming

01:01across the table.

01:03So all I'm asking you is, if you ask the minister a question, let him answer it.

01:08For God's sake, I've had a gutsful of this.

01:11Yeah, your turn for a point of order.

01:12Okay.

01:13Yeah, I got it.

01:13Okay.

01:14Okay.

01:14Let him jump back.
