00:00I addressed that situation or the situation more broadly about Senator
00:05Jacinta Namperjimpa Price and the circumstances that led to the decision
00:09that I made and I'm certainly not going to reflect on colleagues this morning.
00:13I won't go into private discussions that I have had with colleagues, that's a
00:18standard approach I take, so that those discussions can indeed remain private, but
00:23may I take this opportunity as leader of the Liberal Party to apologise to all
00:28Indian Australians and indeed others who were hurt and distressed by the comments
00:34that were made, comments that I said at the time should not have been made and
00:38may I reaffirm my strong support for all our migrant communities.
