House debates Matters of Public Importance
Asia Pacific Region
Duncan Kerr Denison, Australian Labor Party, Parliamentary Secretary for Pacific Island Affairs

The member for Goldstein has proposed a matter of public importance, and the terms in which that matter of public importance was proposed were:
The failure of the Government to manage, protect and grow Australia’s foreign relationships in the Asia/Pacific region in a balanced manner.
He did not mention the Pacific at all. When my counterpart as the first speaker in this debate drew attention to this the response by way of interjection was, ‘We’ll leave it to further speakers.’ Well, I waited, and the member for Mallee spoke and he has not mentioned the Pacific at all.
