SE (—) (): I'm asked about questions to answer about these issues. The fact is that, dating back to 22 March 2021, there are 57 questions on notice in the Senate not answered whatsoever. They include, 'Is it still the Prime Minister's contention that the first time his office knew about the rape alleged to have occurred in Parliament House on 23 March 2019 is 12 February 2021?' and 'Is it still the Prime Minister's contention that the first time he knew about the rape alleged to have occurred at Parliament House on 23 March 2019 is 15 February 2021?' There are questions about the Gaetjens review—which, of course, we have not seen—and questions including, 'Did the Prime Minister's office tell Mr Dutton's office about media enquiries about the alleged rape before Mr Dutton's chief of staff contacted the Prime Minister's chief of staff on 12 February 2021?' and 'What information did the Prime Minister's chief of staff receive from Mr Dutton's chief of staff?'
