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) (14:57): The government is indeed grateful for the cooperation of many in relation to the conduct of this inquiry. We have responded in relation to this inquiry by establishing the Office of the Special Investigator to handle matters that relate to potential criminal conduct, to investigate those and to ensure that proper judicial processes, including presumption of innocence, are followed quite appropriately. Equally, we have put in place an implementation oversight panel to review Defence's response to the recommendations in the report and to ensure that in doing so there is, again, appropriate accountability to the leaders of the Australian Defence Force as they respond to this report. The PRESIDENT: Order! Senator Whish-Wilson on a point of order? Senator Whish-Wilson: Yes, a point of relevance, Mr President. Will the minister rule out prosecuting whistleblower David McBride— The PRESIDENT: Senator Whish-Wilson, again, that was the conclusion of your question. The preamble forms part of the question and a minister can be directly relevant by addressing part of the question. Senator Birmingham. Senator BIRMINGHAM: Mr President, I am not going to make decisions that are rightly the matters of proper legal processes from a political pulpit in this chamber. The PRESIDENT: Senator Whish-Wilson, a final supplementary question?
