Payne, Sen Marise

Senator PAYNE (New South Wales—Minister for Defence) (14:52): I thank Senator Rhiannon for her question. I'm not aware of the statements that Senator Rhiannon says have been made by an Aurecon official. I am aware of the efforts that Defence is making in a number of locations around Australia—I think almost 23 environmental investigations at this point—which will take the PFAS investigation to the largest-ever, single national environmental investigation in this country, as you would be aware, Senator. I will, however, take any further aspects of the senator's question on notice and respond to her in due course. The PRESIDENT: Senator Rhiannon, a supplementary question.
