I can not yet ay that with certainty, as I do not know exactly what it is the government agents told the Senate Estimates Committee, and I don't know on which occasion you're referring to.
But I think it is quite likely that they have inadvertently misled the Senate. Though it's wrong (with a flawed theoretical basis and no empirical evidence to support it) the idea that borrowing from your own central bank would cause hyperinflation is a very widespread myth. It's something I once thought I knew to be true, so would not be surprising if government agents also wrongly believed it to be true.
