Senator BRANDIS (Queensland—Attorney-General, Vice-President of the Executive Council and Leader of the Government in the Senate) (14:41): Senator Sterle, as I said in answer to your primary question, I am not aware of what conversations may have occurred between the Prime Minister and one of my colleagues, but I am aware of the great virtues of the school funding package that was announced by Senator Birmingham last week. You refer, in your primary question, Senator Sterle, to the Catholic system—the Catholic system of which I myself am a product, I might say, and that I care about a great deal. The increase in funding of schools across the Catholic system nationally will be 3.6 per cent. How, Senator Sterle, you can possibly say that an— The PRESIDENT: A point of order, Senator Cameron? Senator Cameron: My point of order is on relevance. The question went clearly to this: has Assistant Minister Seselja advised the Prime Minister of his intention to resign; if not, will the Prime Minister sack him? You should draw the minister's attention to the question. The PRESIDENT: Similar to my response to Senator Gallagher's point of order, the minister did say that he is unaware of conversations that may have taken place between Assistant Minister Seselja and the Prime Minister, so he has certainly answered that part of the question. Senator BRANDIS: So, Senator Sterle, the Catholic system will be one of the beneficiaries of the funding announcement made by Senator Birmingham last week, with an average increase of 3.6 per cent funding of Catholic schools over the next four years. The PRESIDENT: Senator Sterle, a final supplementary question?
