Mathias Cormann (WA, Liberal Party, Vice-President of the Executive Council) Share this | Hansard source

I've already taken the substantive issue on notice. I would say, as the Prime Minister has indicated publicly, that of course he's raised the broader issues with the Liberal Party organisation and in all of the state divisions. Again, this is of course an issue that needs to be handled carefully. It's not as if the Labor Party doesn't have its own internal issues in relation to some of these matters, including the former Labor candidate in Hasluck, who indicated publicly in July that, essentially, she's no longer the candidate because of bullying from various elements inside the Labor Party in Western Australia. I've taken the substantive question on notice and I'll get back to the chamber.
