Mr SUKKAR (Deakin—Assistant Treasurer, Minister for Housing and Minister for Homelessness, Social and Community Housing) (15:05): I thank the member for her question. I unreservedly apologised to Senator Hume, both privately and publicly, in relation to private messages that were made public. Senator Hume and I have worked very closely together for many years. We have worked very closely together as members of the Treasury team, very cooperatively. She is an outstanding minister, as I have relayed publicly on many occasions. As I said, I made very clearly my regret for those comments being made public. They were incorrect. Opposition members interjecting— Mr Conroy in terjecting— The SPEAKER: Members on my left! The member for Shortland! The minister has the call. Mr SUKKAR: I don't think that's surprising; they were incorrect. It was unfair. Senator Hume is an outstanding minister, and I have apologised to her privately and publicly.
