My question is to the Attorney-General. In October 2019, the now Attorney-General said in this place:

Labor's opposition to mandatory sentencing is well known.

…   …   …

Labor's opposition to mandatory sentencing is no secret. It is spelled out in our national platform …

…   …   …

… let me be clear: we do not support … mandatory sentencing …

With this in mind, and having been steamrolled by the Prime Minister on a bill that passed the House last week, can the Attorney-General please detail the benefits of mandatory sentencing, which he now strongly supports?
