I thank the member for Wannon for his question, but let me make one thing very clear: the allegation that it's based on is simply not true. It is simply not true. I can say, further to that, that I speak with Ms Foster very regularly, as I did when she was the associate secretary. She is a highly credentialed public servant who I am privileged to work with together with my friend the Minister for Home Affairs.
