Senator CORMANN (Western Australia—Minister for Finance, Vice-President of the Executive Council and Leader of the Government in the Senate) (14:57): This is a disappointing return to Labor's 'let's turn people against each other' type of attitude. Senator Keneally interjecting— Senator CORMANN: And, yes, she's laughing. We could go through a whole series of jobs and a whole series of people who do great work for Australia and how much they are remunerated. We could go through all sorts of public servants that are doing important jobs and how they are remunerated. The arrangements are entirely appropriate. Mr Power and the commissioners on the National COVID-19 Coordination Commission are doing very important work in our national interest. The PRESIDENT: Order! Senator Wong, on a point of order? Senator Wong: My point of order is on direct relevant. The question is how the minister can justify $267,000—apparently not a salary but just cost reimbursement—being paid to somebody, given the people who the government is excluding to JobKeeper. The PRESIDENT: I've allowed you to restate the question. It was particularly broad in its nature, and an answer can be commensurately broad. Senator Cormann. Senator CORMANN: I'm aware that Ms Stephanie Foster, from the Department of the Prime Minister and Cabinet, went forensically, in some detail, through all of these processes, which is appropriate given that it is the Prime Minister's department that has entered into those arrangements. It was not something that was organised at the ministerial level of government.
