Senator COLBECK (Tasmania—Minister for Tourism and International Education and Minister Assisting the Minister for Trade and Investment) (14:02): As Senator Wong would know, having been a cabinet minister, within a ministerial portfolio, members of the portfolio take responsibility for certain elements of that portfolio and of that ministry. My understanding is that those arrangements are still being finalised between minister— Senator Kim Carr: What does the ministerial order say? Senator COLBECK: If you do not understand the difference between ministerial orders, Senator Carr, and a charter letter, you ought to give up because you are doing a perfect impersonation of a boofhead in this place. The PRESIDENT: Order! Senator Colbeck, you need to withdraw that comment. Senator COLBECK: I withdraw. As I understand it, the charter letter from the Prime Minister has not been finalised yet, but the arrangements between Minister Joyce and Assistant Minister Ruston will be finalised. As we all understand, a cabinet minister ultimately has responsibility for all elements of the portfolio, and in that context ultimately Minister Joyce is responsible for the elements of the water portfolio that are within his portfolio. I am not sure what all the excitement is from Senator Wong. The important thing for water and for Australia is that water is under the responsibility of the coalition and not the opposition.
