I thank Senator Farrell for his question. Senator Farrell will understand that I was not in the position at that time, having been sworn to the office on 18 July this year. I refer Senator Farrell to the statements made by myself and Senator Cormann in the chamber earlier this afternoon. I understand that that briefing preceded the decision of the then Special Minister of State to agree to the location of then Senator Day's office with certain conditions attached, which were outlined by Senator Cormann and by myself.
