Cormann, Sen Mathias

Senator CORMANN (Western Australia—Minister for Finance and Vice-President of the Executive Council) (14:00): The first point I would make is that, as Sport Australia advised the Senate committee earlier today, the brief with the decisions was signed on 4 April. That was a week before the election was called. Obviously, subsequent to that, in the context of usual announcement arrangements you would expect there to be some communications in order to make the necessary arrangements. The PRESIDENT: Senator Green, a supplementary question?
