My question is to the Minister representing the Prime Minister, Senator Brandis. I refer to the minister's claim yesterday that responsibility for foreign donations lies within Senator Cormann's portfolio as Special Minister of State. Why then in TheAustralian Financial Review earlier this month is Senator Brandis reported to be introducing the reforms in the current sitting? Did the Prime Minister ask the Special Minister of State to take yet more responsibilities from the Attorney-General?
