I thank the Right Honourable Leader of the Opposition, the Right Honourable Leader of Her Majesty’s most loyal opposition, for his question—and the member for Wentworth. As I have made clear and the White House has made clear and the US ambassador has made clear, the reported comment was never made and was inaccurate. Any suggestion that the President was not fully aware of the role of the G20 is not accurate. And that has been my position throughout.
