Cormann, Sen Mathias

Senator CORMANN (Western Australia—Minister for Finance, Vice-President of the Executive Council and Leader of the Government in the Senate) (14:25): That is a ridiculous proposition. The Liberal-National Party is a strong coalition and we've got outstanding National Party colleagues who have performed responsibilities for the water portfolio, and none more so than the current minister with responsibility for water, Minister Littleproud. So, while there's always noise, while people throw rocks, we just continue to get on with doing the job that needs doing.
