My question is to the Attorney-General, Senator Brandis. Can the Attorney-General confirm that Commissioner Dyson Heydon, the head of the Abbott government's royal commission into trade unions, was scheduled to headline an $80-a-head, Liberal Party fundraiser at the Castlereagh Boutique Hotel in Sydney on 26 August 2015? Can the Attorney-General confirm that all funds raised by Commissioner Heydon at the Liberal Party fundraiser on 26 August were to be dedicated to election campaigning by the New South Wales division of the Liberal Party? When did the Attorney-General become aware Commissioner Heydon had accepted the invitation to raise funds for the Liberal Party?

Heydon had accepted the invitation to raise funds for the Liberal Party?
