My question is to the Minister for Finance, Senator Gallagher. Minister, on 7 June 2023, in an interview on ABC RN Breakfast, journalist Hamish Macdonald put the following statement to you:

… David Sharaz, said, "I've got a friend in Labor, Katy Gallagher".

Mr Macdonald asked you if Mr Sharaz was a friend. You responded:

… he was a journalist here in Canberra when I was Chief Minister, so I knew him. But I have nothing further to add.

Minister, do you or did you ever have a friendship with Mr Sharaz, and, if so, what is or was the extent of this friendship?
