My question is to the Attorney-General, Senator Brandis. I refer to the Attorney-General's statement yesterday that the government's decision to give ministers the sole discretion to revoke citizenship was based, word for word, on the advice of the then Independent National Security Legislation Monitor, Mr Bret Walker SC. Mr Walker has stated:

… my report does not provide a justification for what they intend to do … it is not what I said, nor what I think now, and anyone who claims otherwise is wrong …

Given that, will the minister correct the record?
