QUESTIONS WITHOUT NOTICE

Mr ALBANESE (Grayndler—Prime Minister) (14:50): I thank the member for her question. Mr Muldoon's comments were completely unacceptable, as I've said. I'm advised that Mr Muldoon has been an Australia Day ambassador since 2014.

It's clearly not appropriate for that to occur. And, as I've said, I wasn't aware of his comments until they were raised in the media, and neither was Senator Dowling. Senator Dowling took immediate action, and that is appropriate.
