President, I raise a point of order on direct relevance. The question went beyond the statement that Senator Gallagher made today to a level of detail not contained in that statement. Further, given the mischaracterisation of the question being made by Senator Gallagher, it asked whether the information that subsequently became public via the content of the Project interview was provided to her in advance. That is not confidential information. It was subsequently publicised.
