208 The evidence of Ms Gasparini shows that between at least 22 September 2018 and 9 September 2022 (being the date of Senator Hanson's tweet) the tweet "pinned" to the top of Senator Faruqi's Twitter profile (ie the first tweet that would be seen on visiting the profile and therefore enjoying particular prominence) stated the following immediately under Senator Faruqi's name and Twitter handle (as written):
