Sena tor GALLAGHER (Australian Capital Territory—Minister for the Public Service, Minister for Finance, Minister for Women, Manager of Government Business in the Senate and Vice-President of the Executive Council) (14:20): The formulation of our questions was done in the normal way, through our own processes. I would say that throughout those questions we were always conscious of making sure that our questions didn't go to issues that may be raised and considered through further or future investigations. And I have certainly not—and I can check the record on this—there was no feedback from any of those authorities that they were concerned about the questions we were asking. I mean, we are in the Australian Senate. I don't know how many times people vet their questions through other organisations, but— Senator Ruston interjecting— Senator GALLAGHER: Well, I completely reject that. I completely reject the weaponisation allegations. I reject the allegation and the assertion just made by Senator Ruston that I am a disgrace and that I don't hold myself to the same standard as them. Honourable senators interjecting— The PRESIDENT: Minister, please resume your seat. A serious question has been asked. The minister is, in a very genuine way, attempting to answer it, and then there are interjections, and then there are interjections across the chamber. That is disrespectful. Minister, please continue. Senator GALLAGHER: Thank you. I think I've addressed the question, and I would say that the only time when we considered and changed our approach was when Senator Reynolds sought our assistance. I think if you go back and check the record you will see that we responded to those requests, made in front of Senator Ruston, that we did consider the request that was put to us and change our approach. Senator Cash interjecting— Senator Henderson interjecting— The PRESIDENT: Senator Cash and Senator Henderson, I don't know how many times I have to call you to order, and you are being disrespectful of the authority that I carry in this chamber. I would ask you to reflect on what you're saying and I would ask you to treat questions and answers with respect. Senator Cash, a first supplementary.
