My question is to the Leader of the Government in the Senate, Senator Wong. On 4 June 2021 in a Senate committee hearing, when confronted about whether Senator Gallagher knew of allegations of an alleged assault before they became public, she said, "No-one had any knowledge. How dare you?" Over the last few days she has admitted in this chamber that she did know about the allegations before they became public and received information about them. Minister, will you ask Senator Gallagher to admit that she misled the Senate and to simply correct the record?
