Senator FIFIELD (Victoria—Manager of Government Business in the Senate and Minister for Communications and the Arts) (14:23): I must admit that I don't personally monitor the phone traffic between my parliamentary colleagues. I may be the minister for communications, but I don't monitor phone calls between colleagues. The only L-plate political aspirant that I'm aware of is one Mr Latham. I think we recall the banner wrap around polling booths more than a few elections ago when those opposite put forward Mr Latham to be the Prime Minister of Australia. We at the time said that Mr Latham was an L-plater. We had that on our booth wrap. The PRESIDENT: Senator Wong on a point of order. Senator Wong: Mr President, it's on direct relevance. This is a statement made by a cabinet minister. It's a public statement about one of your colleagues. We are entitled to ask the minister about public statements. I would ask him on the basis of direct relevance to return to the question. The PRESIDENT: Thank you, Senator Wong. Senator Fifield, I think Senator Wong has reminded you of the question that one needs to be directly relevant to. Senator FIFIELD: I admit I was taking to heart the theme of the question of those opposite! But, as I said, I don't monitor phone communication between my parliamentary colleagues, and, although I do try and follow as much as I possibly can of what my colleagues say in radio interviews, I'm not aware of that particular interview, so I can't be of any further assistance. The PRESIDENT: Senator Keneally, a supplementary question.
