Senator CASH (Western Australia—Minister for Jobs and Innovation) (14:19): I have to say, Senator Cameron, that I would have thought it would be more appropriate to ask about the labour force figures and the employment in this country. Government senators interjecting— Senator CASH: That's right—they are not interested. Senator Cameron, I have confirmed time and time again that this is not an investigation into me or my office, no matter how many times you try to say that it is. I have also stated that, as you know, the AFP have requested public interest immunity in relation to this, and I respect what they have requested. But I have to say, colleagues, that it is now 12 months— The PRESIDENT: Order, Senator Cash! Senator Wong, on a point of order. Senator Wong: Mr President, this is a serious question. The point of order is direct relevance. The minister has been asked to confirm an out-of-chamber statement that she has not been interviewed. We're asking her to confirm it here in the chamber. The PRESIDENT: Senator Cormann, on the point of order. Senator Cormann: Thank you, Mr President. Senator Cash could not have been more directly relevant to the question that was asked. As the President often advises and confirms for the chamber, the opposition can ask questions. As long as the minister is directly relevant to the question, which she was, you are not able to direct the minister on how to answer the question. The PRESIDENT: Quite right. I will rule on the point of order. I cannot instruct a minister how to answer a question as long as they're being directly relevant to the question. I believe, in this case, the minister is being directly relevant to the question. Senator CASH: As I've stated, it's 12 months now, almost to the day—in fact, it's slightly longer—since the issue first arose of whether or not the Leader of the Opposition, when he was the head of the AWU, actually had the appropriate authorisations in relation to a $100,000 donation to GetUp! and a $25,000 donation to the campaign. I would have thought those on the other side, who say they stand up for workers, would have wanted to know that the workers' money was being expended appropriately. Government senators interjecting— The PRESIDENT: Order! I want silence during the question. Senator Cameron, on a supplementary question.
