Cormann, Sen Mathias

Senator CORMANN (Western Australia—Minister for Finance and the Public Service, Vice-President of the Executive Council and Leader of the Government in the Senate) (14:14): I stand by the judgements that I made. I stand by the way I've conducted myself. I sought to handle a difficult situation with integrity, with openness and with transparency and as honourably as you possibly can in these sorts of circumstances. The Labor Party can continue to play games with these things. I at all times sought to do the right thing for the right reasons in the right way, but this is ultimately a matter for others to judge.
