Senator CORMANN (Western Australia—Minister for Finance) (14:15): This is coming from a former failed finance minister who was there at the scene of the crime, stabbing a Labor Prime Minister twice. On this side of the parliament it is a matter of public record that we as a party made a decision yesterday— The PRESIDENT: Pause the clock. Senator Moore: Mr President, a point of order on direct relevance: the question was about whether Mr Turnbull ever raised the concerns with the minister and also whether yesterday was the first time he had heard these concerns. The minister has gone nowhere near that question. The PRESIDENT: Thank you, Senator Moore. The minister has 37 seconds in which to answer the question. Senator CORMANN: The senator would not be surprised to hear me say that conversations between me and the Prime Minister that are of a private nature will remain private. But what I can say is that I look forward to working with the Prime Minister and indeed with all of my colleagues in the cabinet and in the coalition party room to do everything we can every day to put Australia on a stronger foundation for the future to make sure we are in the best possible position to be as resilient as possible to face the challenges and in the best possible position to take advantage of opportunities, in particular in the Asia-Pacific.
