Senator HENDERSON (Victoria) (14:30): My question is to the Minister for Finance, Senator Gallagher. Minister, on 7 June 2023, in an interview on ABC RN Breakfast, journalist Hamish Macdonald put the following statement to you: … David Sharaz, said, "I've got a friend in Labor, Katy Gallagher". Mr Macdonald asked you if Mr Sharaz was a friend. You responded: … he was a journalist here in Canberra when I was Chief Minister, so I knew him. But I have nothing further to add. Minister, do you or did you ever have a friendship with Mr Sharaz, and, if so, what is or was the extent of this friendship? Government senators interjecting— The PRESIDENT: Order! Before I call the minister, I'm going to ask for order on my right. Minister Gallagher.
