Payne, Sen Marise

Senator PAYNE (New South Wales—Minister for Foreign Affairs and Minister for Women) (14:14): Given I took Senator McAllister's preceding question on notice, I will also take that question on notice. However, I would note that, as the Leader of the Government in the Senate, the Minister for Finance, has made absolutely clear, what those opposite continue to leave out of their questions and their assertions is that this matter is a result of a piece of correspondence from a shadow minister in the opposition to pursue this matter, and they clearly neglect to include that in any of their assertions.
