Mr President, I ask a further supplementary question. Can the Attorney-General confirm that both Mr Stoljar and Mr Elliot share chambers with Commissioner Heydon in Sydney? What involvement did Commissioner Heydon have in selecting Mr Stoljar and Mr Elliot to assist in the royal commission and where is the balance in that? And given that the government has revealed the exorbitant cost of engaging counsel to the royal commission at least in part in estimates, will the Attorney-General now reveal the total cost to Australian taxpayers of this rort?
