Senator CONROY (Victoria—Leader of the Government in the Senate, Minister for Broadband, Communications and the Digital Economy and Minister Assisting the Prime Minister on Digital Productivity) (14:05): The leadership issue was dealt with. Let me be very clear: the Prime Minister won an overwhelming, in fact a record, mandate—a record mandate. Those opposite have now wasted— Honourable senators interjecting— The PRESIDENT: Order! Senator Conroy, resume your seat. When there is silence on both sides we will proceed. Senator Conroy. Senator CONROY: Thank you, Mr President. Those opposite have now wasted nearly 10 minutes of question time on sleaze. They want to try and muddy up the reputation of front benchers and ministers in this government. Why don't you try asking one of the ministers a question about policy? They are all here in a line for you. Why don't you ask about some policy? Ask about media policy. Honourable senators interjecting — The PRESIDENT: I will give the call to you, Senator Brandis, when there is silence on both sides. Senator Brandis. Senator Brandis: Mr President, on a point of order: it is hardly sleazy to ask whether the Prime Minister of Australia enjoys the confidence of her own caucus. The question was very simple: can the minister who does lead the government in this place give to the Senate a full and unequivocal assurance that the Prime Minister enjoys the confidence of all her ministers? The fact that he has exhausted almost all of his time in failing to give that assurance is itself revealing, but I do ask you to draw him to the question. Senator Jacinta Collins: Mr President, on the point of order: again this is utter rubbish. The opposition has been clearly given that assurance. Honourable senators interjecting — The PRESIDENT: Order on both sides! There is no point of order. The minister is answering the question. The minister has nine seconds remaining if the minister has anything further to add. Senator CONROY: I can assure those opposite that the Prime Minister enjoys the overwhelming support of the caucus, as she showed—overwhelming support. (Time expired)
