Mr Albanese: The Minister for Broadband, Communications and the Digital Economy has provided the following answer to the honourable member’s question:

*Note: These two transactions, albeit outside the Department’s guidelines, were valid transactions, rather than inadvertent use of the card. No money was, therefore, required to be repaid.
