Senator BRANDIS (Queensland—Attorney-General, Vice-President of the Executive Council and Leader of the Government in the Senate) (14:38): Senator Waters, people watching this broadcast and hearing you ask that question would be very surprised to learn that you represent the political party that accepted the largest single corporate donation in Australian political history—$1.6 million in one donation from the corporation Wotif. So please— The PRESIDENT: Pause the clock. Senator Waters: Mr President, I rise on a point of order. The senator is misleading the chamber. The donation was from an individual, not a corporation. Our party does not accept corporate donations. Honourable senators interjecting— The PRESIDENT: Order! Senator Waters, that was not a point of order; that was a debating point. I call the Attorney-General. Senator BRANDIS: Senator Waters, when you are the recipient—when you are the beneficiary of the largest single corporate donation in Australian history, it lies ill with you to be— The PRESIDENT: Pause the clock. Senator Waters: Mr President, I rise on a point of order. I ask the minister to withdraw the misleading statement he has twice now put to the chamber. It was not a corporate donation. The PRESIDENT: No, there is no point of order. Senator Waters: It is a misleading statement; he should withdraw it. The PRESIDENT: That is no point of order. There are ways to rectify that outside of question time. Senator BRANDIS: Senator Waters, when you are the beneficiary and recipient of the largest single corporate donation in Australian political history, it lies ill for you to be criticising any other political party, quite frankly, for accepting donations from respectable Australian companies which provide jobs and prosperity to other Australians.
