I seek leave to make a personal explanation.
Leave granted.
Yesterday I accidentally posted a photo on my social media, which I am aware is not permitted within the standing orders. I apologise to the Senate for this. And I'll take this opportunity to correct the record on a statement I made to this place yesterday in relation to when the photos were deleted. I had deleted photos from my phone at the time I made that report. I learned that was not the case with those on the Instagram feed, which were made accidentally, because I didn't know of its existence. It has been deleted and I apologise to the Senate for this inadvertent misleading of the Senate. I'm taking the earliest opportunity this morning to clarify that statement.
