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

The member for Chisholm was pursued over membership of various organisations which her Labor opponent in the same election was a member of as well. Let me say it again very clearly: the member for Chisholm is a duly elected member in the House of Representatives, representing the people of Chisholm, because the majority of the people of Chisholm voted for her, consistent with the requirements under our Constitution and under our electoral laws. What the Labor Party is doing here is nothing but a smear.
