Senator CAMERON (New South Wales) (14:22): Is the government continuing to provide legal advice to Senator Cash in relation to the Australian Federal Police investigation and possible prosecution by the Commonwealth prosecutor? If yes, what is the total cost to date? Senator Cormann: I raise a point of order. That is not a supplementary question and it's not a question that relates to the minister's portfolio. This is a question that relates to the Attorney-General's portfolio and the Finance portfolio. This is a question about legal indemnity for ministers of the Crown, as has been available to ministers of the Labor government and as is available to ministers on both sides of government. It does not relate to the portfolio of Jobs and Innovation. The PRESIDENT: Senator Wong, did you want to respond? Senator Wong: Mr President, we would accept, as is my recollection, that the money and the decision may well come from the Attorney-General's Department, but I would have thought that the question of whether or not her legal advice is being paid for would be something Senator Cash might know, and that it clearly relates to matters about which she's being questioned. The PRESIDENT: Ministers can be questioned on statements they have made. I'm obviously not familiar with every statement the minister has made, but the minister is free to answer the question to the extent of that. The point that Senator Cormann has made is relevant, but ministers can also be questioned on statements they've made. So, to that extent, I'll invite the minister to answer that part of the question she is able or willing to provide information about within her responsibilities and public statements.
