My question is to the minister representing the Prime Minister, Senator Cormann. On Sunday, ABC Insiders program tweeted a comment critical of the government's lack of due diligence prior to handing $440 million of public money to the private Great Barrier Reef Foundation. The tweet was deleted some hours later. Yesterday, it was revealed that the tweet was deleted as a result of a complaint from the office of the Prime Minister to the ABC. Can the minister inform the Senate who in the Prime Minister's office contacted the ABC and on whose direction they acted?
