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) (14:07): Firstly, I reject the opening to the question. I did answer the primary question, in that I completely rejected the assertion that was made. The second point I would make— Senator Jacinta Collins: What assertion? Senator CORMANN: Don't be so negative, Senator Collins! Senator Jacinta Collins: On a point of order, I would ask the minister look again at the question. No assertion was made. The PRESIDENT: I think the minister is being directly relevant. Senator CORMANN: The Labor Party decides to be so negative when, on this side of the chamber, we are having positive and constructive conversations, making sure that we move forward, working as the strongest possible, most united, most effective government— Opposition senators interjecting— Senator CORMANN: because we are focused on doing the best we can for the Australian people. Under our government the economy is stronger, employment growth is stronger, the budget position is in a stronger and improving position. We are delivering for the Australian people. Under Labor they had stopped listing medicines because they could no longer afford to pay for them. The budget position had deteriorated so much that you could no longer even list important medicines. (Time expired) The PRESIDENT: Senator Collins, is there a final supplementary question?
