Senator BRANDIS (Queensland—Attorney-General, Vice-President of the Executive Council and Leader of the Government in the Senate) (14:05): It just goes to show how desperate and reckless you have become that what you, 10 months ago, condemned as a stunt is now the centrepiece of your policy. What you condemned as a stunt, you have now embraced as the centrepiece of your policy. We are a responsible government. We know that there is no system so good that it cannot be improved. But the way in which to do it, Senator Dastyari, is to take the institutions that we have—institutions which you and your leader and your shadow Treasurer have acknowledged are among the best regulators in the world—and make sure they can be as good as they possibly can be. The PRESIDENT: Pause the clock. Senator Dastyari, you have a point of order? Senator Dastyari: Mr President, it goes to relevance. I clearly asked whether the minister can confirm that eight coalition senators and MPs are prepared to support a royal commission into the banking and financial services industry. The minister has made no attempt to answer that part of the question. The PRESIDENT: I would remind the Attorney-General of the question. Senator BRANDIS: That is why, Senator Dastyari, at the very time you were condemning the idea of a royal commission into the banking industry as a stunt, the Treasurer, Mr Morrison, was establishing a capability review to examine whether ASIC was as well set up as it could be—and the findings of that capability review will be announced shortly.
