Senator CORMANN (Western Australia—Minister for Finance and Deputy Leader of the Government in the Senate) (14:48): As I was about to say in answer to a question by Senator Wong earlier, before I was interrupted by a point of order, during my 6½ months as Special Minister of State it was not my practice to trouble the Prime Minister on routine matters relating to inquiries by members and senators—whether they were Labor, Liberal, National, Greens or indeed Independent members and senators—and this was a routine matter. No, I did not trouble the Prime Minister on this occasion either.
