My question is to the Attorney-General, Senator Brandis. I refer to the minister's previous statement that he had 'no knowledge of the James Ashby affair beyond what I have read in the media'. Prior to media reports, was the minister aware of the attempt by Mr Brough to procure, from Mr Ashby, extracts from the diary of his employer, the former Speaker?
