Senator BRANDIS (Queensland—Attorney-General, Vice-President of the Executive Council and Leader of the Government in the Senate) (14:16): Honestly, Senator Farrell, I'm disappointed with you, too. I mean, seriously! You disappoint me, Senator Farrell. What an asinine question. Because an Australian citizen, the Prime Minister of Australia—who, by the way, traces his lineage back to the First Fleet—has been a successful businessman and has earned money both in Australia and in various foreign countries, it is somehow a foreign donor? Senator Farrell, you can do a lot better than that. Honourable senators interjecting— The PRESIDENT: A point of order, Senator Cormann? Opposition senators interjecting— The PRESIDENT: Order on my left! Can we at the least have silence for points of order? Senator Cormann: On a point of order, and I seek your guidance here, Mr President: I always understood that legal opinion was not within standing orders as a matter for questioning of ministers, and, as much as it was an obscure question, it was a question asking for legal opinion. Let me assist Senator Farrell nevertheless: the Prime Minister, being on the electoral role, is of course somebody who is permitted to donate under our proposed rules. The PRESIDENT: That is not a point of order, Senator Cormann. Senator Brandis, have you concluded your answer? Senator BRANDIS: I have. Senator Farrell interjecting— The PRESIDENT: That wasn't a point of order. I've ruled against it, Senator Farrell. Senator Farrell: I want to raise a new point of order. The PRESIDENT: What is it regarding? It can't be about relevance of the answer; the minister has concluded. Senator Jacinta Collins: Well, you gave him the call! He had already sat down. You gave him the call. The PRESIDENT: And I've checked with the minister, and he has concluded the answer. Senator Farrell: Is it not true under this new legislation that Senator Cormann— The PRESIDENT: Senator Farrell, please resume your seat. You don't have the call, Senator Farrell. There's an opportunity to debate this after question time. I thought Senator Brandis resumed his seat because Senator Cormann had risen. I checked that after Senator Cormann concluded.
