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.
