My question is to the Minister representing the Prime Minister, Senator Cormann. On Monday, the minister told the Senate that the report of the Religious Freedom Review Expert Panel was 'received by cabinet in May'. On the same day, Prime Minister Morrison told the House of Representatives:

… I first saw this report not long after I became Prime Minister …

If the cabinet received the report in May, why did Prime Minister Morrison not see the report until at least five months later? Who is telling the truth—the minister or your Prime Minister?
