I thank Senator Pratt for giving me the opportunity to again thank Senator Fierravanti-Wells for her outstanding service as a minister in the Turnbull government. Senator Pratt is quite wrong, and I can refer you to the public record, because Senator Fierravanti-Wells published her letter: she did not offer her resignation; she tendered her resignation. There's quite a difference between offering your resignation and tendering your resignation. Others offered their resignation and, as such, those matters appropriately have to be considered by the Prime Minister.
