Mathias Cormann (WA, Liberal Party, Minister for Finance) Share this | Hansard source

Let me be very explicit. Firstly, these are matters that are of course entirely within the purview of the WA Liberal organisation. Let me confirm for Senator Sterle, given his great interest in these matters, that I had absolutely no reason to discuss these matters with the Prime Minister because these are not my areas of responsibility at a national level. These are entirely matters for the WA Liberal Party organisation.
