Senator CHRIS EVANS (Western Australia—Minister for Tertiary Education, Skills, Jobs and Workplace Relations and Leader of the Government in the Senate) (14:21): Not being an expert on body language, I am not quite sure what Senator Ronaldson is suggesting. But I do know from his language that he represents the pure desperation of the Liberal Party on this issue. The less progress they make on any factual argument the more desperate and outlandish the accusations and the broader the attempt to widen the net, to drag in anybody that they think can be dragged in on this issue. Senator Ronaldson: Mr President, I raise a point of order on relevance. I have asked the minister whether the Prime Minister will publicly and unequivocally back the right of Ms Jackson's actions in blowing the whistle on the member for Dobell. The PRESIDENT: The question was a lot broader than that. The minister has 25 seconds remaining to answer the question. Senator CHRIS EVANS: I would urge the opposition to take a more responsible position on these matters, allow the proper authorities to continue their investigations and use proper process rather than, as I say, try to slur people up and jump to conclusions. The Prime Minister has urged anyone with information relating to criminal activity to take those matters to the appropriate police and other authorities, as I have, and that remains our position.
