My question is to the Minister for Trade and Tourism, Senator Farrell. Minister, yesterday, you told Australians twice that President Trump raised the beef import ban directly with the Prime Minister as part of one of their phone calls. The Prime Minister denied this, and you have been forced to backtrack. Did the Prime Minister or his office direct you to change your story?
