Cormann, Sen Mathias

Senator CORMANN (Western Australia—Minister for Finance and Deputy Leader of the Government in the Senate) (14:17): Obviously, our plans are reflected in the budget and I have referred Senator Whish-Wilson to that before. It is true that the Treasurer is doing some further work in relation to these matters and we will have some more to say on that in the near future. In the meantime, I commend to Senator Whish-Wilson Proverbs 17:28: Even fools are thought wise if they keep silent, and discerning if they hold their tongues.
