Thank you, Mr President. To reinforce the point, I refer to the Solicitor-General's submission to the Legal and Constitutional Affairs References Committee, which states, 'At no time'—I repeat: 'at no time'—'during that meeting did the Attorney-General indicate that he was considering issuing a legal binding direction.' Given the Solicitor-General has directly contradicted the Attorney-General's statements, will the Attorney-General now concede he has misled the Senate?
