Sinodinos, Sen Arthur

Senator SINODINOS (New South Wales—Assistant Treasurer) (14:32): I was going on to say that that was before I entered the Senate or had any frontbench responsibility. Honourable senators interjecting— Senator Wong: I would have thought you would take the opportunity to back your statement. Senator SINODINOS: I stand by what I said to the Senate, and I have nothing further to add to what is on the public record. Honourable senators interjecting— Senator SINODINOS: Let's not have any of this faux suspicion. There will be an appropriate opportunity for all these matters to be ventilated, but they go to matters which relate to a period before I was in the Senate.
