Senator CORMANN (Western Australia—Minister for Finance) (14:05): I absolutely agree with the senator that Peter Costello is a great Australian, and I have to say: the overwhelming support across the chamber—the overwhelming noise across the chamber—after the senator referred to Peter Costello as a great Australian was so loud I could not really hear the rest of the question. But let me just say— The PRESIDENT: Pause the clock. Senator Wong: Mr President, on a point of order, given that the minister, out of his own mouth, said he did not hear the question, perhaps the senator could repeat the question. The PRESIDENT: That is a fair request, Senator Wong. Senator Ketter, would you repeat the question. We will reset the clock for both the question and the answer.
