These matters were addressed by me and by the secretary of my department, Mr Moraitis, in Senate estimates last Tuesday. The account by Mr Moraitis and my account were full, thorough and accurate, and I have nothing to add to what was said on that occasion, because there is nothing more to say.

But, Senator Collins, you should reflect on your disgraceful attack upon Mr Chris Moraitis during the debate in this chamber earlier on today. Senator Collins, you have form for this. I remember, Senator Collins, that many years ago, when you and I sat on the children overboard inquiry, you engaged in a similar disgraceful attack.
