Senator CORMANN (Western Australia—Minister for Finance, Leader of the Government in Senate, Vice-President of the Executive Council and Leader of the Government in the Senate) (14:58): Again, I'm not aware. Obviously all political parties have to receive and declare political donations, consistent with our electoral laws. I am confident that is what the Liberal Party does and, I would like to think, all other political parties do— The PRESIDENT: Order! Senator Wong on a point of order. Senator Abetz: Senator Wong wants to object to that. The PRESIDENT: Order! Senator Wong: I'll take the interjection, Mr President. The PRESIDENT: It would be helpful if you wouldn't, and we could go to the point of order, Senator Wong. Senator Wong: Go on, let me! The PRESIDENT: Senator Wong, on a point of order. Senator Wong: Mr President, this is an important matter. It is not just a matter of what the donations laws are. This goes to whether the Prime Minister is aware of any of his ministers or members being aware that the donation came from a company that was under investigation by the AFP and the Criminal Intelligence Commission. I'd ask the minister, on this issue, to be directly relevant to that point. The PRESIDENT: On the point of order: the minister had previously spoken about matters that I did believe were directly relevant and took them on notice. He had been speaking for 17 seconds. I was going to give him the opportunity to continue his answer. Senator CORMANN: Thank you very much, Mr President. I make a statement of the obvious: obviously I'm not aware of what other people might or might not be aware of. I've made that very clear, which is why I've taken relevant parts of the question, in relation to circumstances being described that I'm not aware of, on notice. I make the general point that of course all parties and all candidates have to comply with our electoral laws when it comes to receiving and declaring political donations. I ask that further questions be placed on the Notice Paper.
