Senator CASH (Western Australia—Minister Assisting the Prime Minister for the Public Service, Minister for Employment and Minister for Women) (14:21): I thank Senator Cameron for the question. You are correct, Senator Cameron: the government accepted Mr Hadgkiss's registration on 13 September 2017 and it took effect on 27 September 2017. He was, therefore, paid between the period of the resignation— The PRESIDENT: Order, Senator Cash. Senator Farrell? Senator Farrell: I have a point of order. It's just not clear what the minister said. Did she say 'resignation' or 'registration'? Could we please clarify? The PRESIDENT: Senator Cash was relevant to the question. That wasn't technically a point of order. Senator CASH: The resignation took effect on 27 September. He, therefore, would have been paid up until 27 September. The PRESIDENT: Have you completed your answer, Senator Cash? Senator Cameron: I asked: who approved the pay? The PRESIDENT: Senator Cameron, take your seat. I am clarifying what's happening. Senator Cash, have you concluded your answer? Senator CASH: I have. The PRESIDENT: Senator Cameron, do you have a supplementary question?
