Senator STERLE (Western Australia) (14:52): I will do my best, Mr President. My question is to the Minister for Finance, Senator Cormann. Senator Cormann, last week veteran WA Liberal Party donor Julian Stawell wrote a stinging letter to The 500 Club, a body which raises money for conservative politicians, calling them to drop support for WA's six federal ministers over their lack of action on GST reform and other issues. In his letter Mr Stawell accused the Canberra six of being 'psycophantic to the Canberra establishment', Senator Cash. Senator Cash: Sycophantic! Senator STERLE: Sycophantic, sorry. When I looked at you I thought of psychos. Has the minister discussed with Mr Stawell his concerns about the minister's failure to advocate for his home state? You led with your jaw, Senator Cash. I could not help it.
