A life-long arts patron and avid collector of modern and contemporary art, Gund made headlines in 2017 when she auctioned a prized work by Roy Lichtenstein, Masterpiece, 1962, for $165 million and used the funds to start the Art for Justice Fund, which provides grants to organizations working toward criminal justice reform. Since it launched, the fund has backed numerous projects and institutions including the Bard Prison Initiative, Dream Corps, Forward Justice, Vera Institute for Justice, and the Youth First Initiative.

Mr Hockey, who was known to be close to US President Donald Trump, said the importance of the Five Eyes partnership could not be understated.

"I can't tell you how important the Five Eyes partnership is for us. US intelligence has been instrumental in thwarting nine of the 13 disrupted terrorist attacks in Australia," he said.

"Our role in Five Eyes is more valuable than ever because of the increasing importance of the Indo-Pacific. We are not under threat in Five Eyes, but we could have been."

Asked how Australia's role in the intelligence sharing alliance could have been under threat in the past, Mr Hockey said: "Australia was under pressure on Five Eyes because of the whole Downer issue."

 

"The FBI and CIA were under profound attack and the Downer issue could have gone really badly for us… I don't want to say anything more about that."
