Senator BIRMINGHAM (South Australia—Minister for Trade, Tourism and Investment and Deputy Leader of the Government in the Senate) (14:59): Mr Taylor has made a clear statement in relation to the matter. He has made it publicly. He has made it in the House. I have no reason to doubt his statement in these matters. As you are aware from the extensive questioning we have had in this place, these matters will now no doubt be investigated. What I would note is you now seem to be deciding that you will come in here to try to do the job that you have asked the New South Wales police to do. That is what you are trying to do now, Senator Watt. You are seeking— Senator Wong: Point of order on direct relevance: this is not about Senator Watt's motivation. It is about this minister becoming aware of any evidence supporting Minister Taylor's version of events. The PRESIDENT: On the point of order, it is not directly relevant to talk about the person asking the question, but the minister immediately prior to that was being directly relevant, because he was talking about an alternative version of events—I think that is the fairest way to describe it—without using any of the pejorative terms, or trying to avoid the pejorative terms, of those asking those questions. He is allowed to outline a different version of events than that assumed by the questioner and still be directly relevant. Senator BIRMINGHAM: As I said, Mr Taylor has made his statement. That is the statement that I have highlighted to this chamber time and time again, and that is the advice and the information I have as the representing minister to provide to this chamber. But I do note that those opposite called for a police investigation, and yet now they are trying to do it themselves. (Time expired) The PRESIDENT: Senator Watt, a final supplementary question?
