Senator FARRELL (South Australia—Minister for Trade and Tourism, Special Minister of State and Deputy Leader of the Government in the Senate) (15:01): I said I would come back to Senator Birmingham on his questions. In my answer, which addressed two questions at once, I correctly indicated that the government's staffing committee has not considered any matter referred to by Senator Birmingham. I can, however, confirm that the Deputy Prime Minister is the chair of the government staffing committee.
