Senator CORMANN (Western Australia—Minister for Finance and Vice-President of the Executive Council) (14:54): I don't accept the premise of the question. The Prime Minister has been very clear on the involvement that his office has had in relation to these matters, and that was one of advocacy on behalf of members that approached— The PRESIDENT: Order! Senator Wong, on a point of order? Senator Wong: Direct relevance: the question is which member of the staff? The PRESIDENT: With respect, the minister was being directly relevant. He's allowed to challenge an assumption or assertion in the question. Senator CORMANN: The involvement of the Prime Minister's office has been well documented. The Prime Minister's office, consistent with prime ministers' offices time immemorial, made representations on behalf of members of parliament, and that is entirely appropriate.
