My question is to the minister representing the Prime Minister, Senator Birmingham. Former New South Wales Premier Gladys Berejiklian has said, 'All four of my grandparents were orphaned and witnessed untold atrocities'—against the Armenian people in 1915. More than 40 of her relatives were killed. Nine's newspapers reported on the weekend that staff in the Prime Minister's office referred disparagingly to the former Premier of New South Wales Gladys Berejiklian as 'Anne Frank'. Why is the Prime Minister's office using Anne Frank's name to disparage Gladys Berejiklian?
