Ms Julie Bishop (Curtin, Liberal Party, Minister for Foreign Affairs) Share this | Hansard source

I made a statement to this House based on the evidence of an official given to Senate estimates. When that official provided confirmation in writing that the evidence she gave was wrong, I corrected the record at the earliest opportunity. The official gave that written confirmation at 2.43 pm on 4 June. I corrected the record at 3.09 pm on 4 June. Senator Brandis corrected the record at 3.15 pm that day. That gave Senator Wong the rest of the afternoon in Senate estimates to ask questions of the Attorney-General about this matter.
