My question is to the Minister for Finance, Senator Gallagher. Minister, last week you told the Senate that you first heard about sexual assault allegations in the week prior to them becoming public on 15 February 2021. Today the Australian newspaper reports that, in late January and early February 2021, Mr Martin Fisk, whose wife, Sandra, is the ACT Labor Party's operations manager, told the ACT Victims of Crime Commissioner that he was working with a young woman who was about to make a sexual assault disclosure that 'would likely attract media attention'. Minister, did Mr Fisk or his wife Sandra ever raise these allegations with you or your office prior to 15 February 2021.
