Senator CANAVAN (Queensland—Minister for Resources and Northern Australia) (14:48): This is the second question in a row where you've asked around issues that relate to another portfolio. Obviously, you're asking about what the— The PRESIDENT: Order! Senator Canavan, please resume your seat. Senator Carr on a point of order. Senator Kim Carr: On a point of order. I would like to clarify, this is the same grant from the department of industry to the same company which the member for Dunkley personally referred to in the House of Representatives: a benefit which he had received. The PRESIDENT: Senator Carr, I'll take that as a point of order on direct relevance. Senator Cormann, on the point of order. Senator Cormann: On the point of order, given that Senator Carr is deliberately seeking to mislead the Senate, the Australian Research Council grant— The PRESIDENT: Senator Cormann, I'll ask you to withdraw the comments about deliberately misleading. Senator Cormann: I withdraw. The point, though, is that it's not a grant to the company concerned; it's a grant to the University of Melbourne. The PRESIDENT: Order! I've heard enough. These are points of debate. They are entitled to be raised during question time or following by a person asking or answering a question. I'll call the minister to answer the question asked by Senator Carr. Senator CANAVAN: Thank you, Mr President. As I was indicating earlier, the question Senator Carr just asked was: did the Prime Minister receive briefings? Obviously, as I outlined, I don't represent the Prime Minister in this chamber. What I can advise is that I have been briefed on this information as the representative minister. Of course, any questions in relation to the Prime Minister's briefings need to be asked of the relevant minister. Senator Kim Carr: Mr President, I seek leave to table a statement from the member for Dunkley relating specifically to this matter and the grant from the department of industry, the Global Connections Fund. He specifically refers to his company, a company which he's invested in, and the receipt of $50,000. Leave not granted. Senator Cormann: Again, I don't trust every document that is raised. The usual courtesies apply, and Senator Wong understands the usual courtesies.
