Senator CORMANN (Western Australia—Leader of the Government in the Senate, Minister for Finance, Special Minister of State and Vice-President of the Executive Council) (14:05): Firstly, I haven't seen the comments that Senator Collins is referencing. All I can say is what I have said all the way through: our government values the contribution of the Catholic education system to the education of our children. I've also just been advised that Mr Elder's actually said publicly that he wasn't offended by the reported remarks.
