Senator BRANDIS (Queensland—Deputy Leader of the Opposition in the Senate) (14:19): Mr President, I ask a further supplementary question. I note that the minister does not consider her decision to sack an incumbent Prime Minister a matter of sufficient note to be the subject of questions in question time. I refer the minister to her statements this morning and her decision to support Mr Rudd. Honourable senators interjecting— The PRESIDENT: Order! You need to withdraw that. You cannot say that. An honourable senator: I withdraw. The PRESIDENT: Thank you. Senator BRANDIS: I refer the minister to her statements this morning that her decision to support Mr Rudd was 'a wrenching personal decision', and 'the most difficult decision of my political life'. Isn't it the case that her decision to change to Mr Rudd was entirely due to the opinion polls, not the good of Australia?
