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) (14:33): The royal commission is obviously considering a lot of submissions, a lot of representations. The royal commissioner is required to act independently from government and is best equipped to make relevant judgements. If he were to make certain recommendations to government, the government would of course act on them as appropriate.
