Cormann, Sen Mathias

Senator CORMANN (Western Australia—Minister for Finance and Deputy Leader of the Government in the Senate) (14:29): If I can give Senator Sterle one piece of advice: gloating when you have won the privilege and opportunity to serve the people of Western Australian is not a very good sign. The fact that you are approaching the responsibilities that have been bestowed on the WA Labor Party by coming into this chamber and gloating is not a very good sign. The PRESIDENT: Senator Sterle, a supplementary question.
