Mr Deputy President, I am not sure to which part you refer, but I am happy to cooperate with you. If I said something unparliamentary I would of course withdraw it.

I was referring to the fact that Senator Brandis has been known in the past for getting politically involved in questions around the member for Dobell, Mr Thomson, and to engage with the then New South Wales Attorney General on that matter. I also understand that he sought to engage with the New South Wales police minister on that issue and also sought to engage with the police commissioner. Senator Brandis has form.
