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): The Prime Minister is a very open and transparent person. Opposition senators interjecting— The PRESIDENT: Order on my left! Please resume your seat, Senator Cormann. Senator Polley interjecting— The PRESIDENT: Senator Polley, while I'm speaking, please take a breath. Senator Hinch has already said he can't hear the minister. If I can't hear Senator Cormann, there is by far too much noise in this chamber. Senator CORMANN: Thank you very much, Mr President. I'm not personally aware of the employment circumstances of more than a decade ago. What I am aware of is that Mr Morrison fixed up Labor's mess at the borders as immigration minister. He stopped the boats. He also implemented very important social welfare reform as Minister for Social Services. He also, of course, has presided over stronger growth and more jobs being created in his capacity at Treasurer. The PRESIDENT: Senator Collins, on a point of order? Senator Jacinta Collins: I remind the Senate again, the question is: why was Prime Minister Morrison sacked as director of Tourism Australia? Senator CORMANN: On the point of order: I directly addressed that point by making the point that I wasn't personally aware of the employment circumstances of more than a decade ago, but I have provided further information in the context of the question asked. The PRESIDENT: On the point of order: the minister is correct; he has noted that he is not aware of the circumstances. What I will say is that, under my reading of the standing orders, further information provided must also be directly relevant to the question or part of the question asked. I hasten to remind those asking questions that they only need to be directly relevant to part of the question asked, not all of it. Senator CORMANN: Thank you very much, Mr President. Of course, the question asked goes to the performance of the Prime Minister. Let me say again, the Prime Minister has been an outstanding performer when it comes to fixing up Labor's mess at our borders, has been an outstanding performer when it comes to initiating and implementing social welfare reform and has been an outstanding performer as Treasurer. The Australian people know that he is one of the strongest advocates there is for a stronger tourism sector across Australia. (Time expired) The PRESIDENT: Senator Collins, a final supplementary question.
