Senator BIRMINGHAM (South Australia—Minister for Finance, Minister for Trade, Tourism and Investment, Vice-President of the Executive Council and Leader of the Government in the Senate) (14:28): I'm sure those sorts of questions were addressed in Senate estimates and are being addressed through questions on notice in Senate estimates. I'm confident the proper processes, in accordance with all of the guidelines, will have been followed and that those details, no doubt, will be provided. The PRESIDENT: Senator Wong, on a point of order? Senator Wong: My point of order goes to direct relevance. The minister was asked: who recommended Mr Reed, the Crosby Textor pollster, for this contract, which did not go to competitive tender? The fact that this question was asked in estimates is not a response. He is the Minister representing the Prime Minister. We want to know whether it was the Prime Minister's office. The PRESIDENT: I'm listening carefully. I've allowed you to remind the minister of the last part of the question. As I've said, as long as he remains directly relevant to part of the question, I can't direct him to answer another part. But I am listening carefully. Senator BIRMINGHAM: What I was talking about was the fact that there has been much scrutiny of these sorts of programs during estimates and I have every suspicion that, if we look at the transcripts, we will see that these questions were probably asked. These questions may have been taken on notice and will have been answered or will be answered on notice. Now, if they weren't and they need to be, I'll bring any details I can back to the chamber. But the GO LOCAL FIRST campaign is about providing encouragement to consumers to shop locally, to support their local small businesses, to ensure the viability of those small businesses and to strengthen economic activity in the local economy and community. That's what this sort of program is doing, and I would have thought that those on the other side would champion and support it. The PRESIDENT: Order, Senator Birmingham. Senator Pratt, a final supplementary question?
