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) (14:27): Senator Cameron is asking me why the good people in Wentworth should vote for the Liberal candidate. Let me say right up-front: the reason they should vote for Dave Sharma is that he's an outstanding Liberal candidate for Wentworth. He is somebody who has made it from being a first-generation migrant to Australia to representing Australia as an ambassador in Israel, where he did an absolutely outstanding job. If the people of Wentworth put their confidence in Dave Sharma, he will be an outstanding representative for their community here in the Australian parliament. The PRESIDENT: Senator Cameron, on a point of order. Senator Cameron: It is on direct relevance. There is one question, and that was: Dr Hewson doesn't think that the voters in Wentworth should be voting Liberal. That was the proposition. Why should they vote Liberal if Dr Hewson doesn't? The PRESIDENT: The minister is being directly relevant because he is answering the question, albeit not in the way you would like it. I have no capacity to direct him to do so. Senator CORMANN: Let me just speculate. I'm really not sure when the last time was that Dr Hewson voted Liberal, I have to tell you. With the greatest of respect I would advise the people of Wentworth not to take their lead from Dr Hewson in relation to their vote. Consider the great credentials of Dave Sharma. Consider the great work that our government has done over the last five years, and the contribution that Dave Sharma can make to that work into the future. Obviously, a vote for anyone other than Dave Sharma in Wentworth would be a vote for less certainty and less stability in government, and we would encourage the good people in Wentworth to consider that particular important consideration. On our side, we strongly support Dave Sharma as an absolutely outstanding individual who will make a fantastic contribution in the House of Representatives as the member for Wentworth. I thank Senator Cameron for having given me the opportunity to explain, on the record, why people should vote for Dave Sharma: because he's a great individual who will be a strong voice and do a great job. (Time expired) The PRESIDENT: Senator Cameron, a supplementary question.
