Yesterday, 8 February, at approximately 4.25 pm, the Minister for Home Affairs deliberately entered the chamber and sought to add to her answer in question time that day regarding when the Prime Minister's office was first informed that the designation of Nauru as a regional processing country had lapsed.

referring to me—

That is untrue.
