My question is to the Attorney-General, Senator Brandis. I refer to the Legal and Constitutional Affairs References Committee report tabled in the Senate yesterday, which states that the Attorney-General:

… has misled the Parliament by stating in the Explanatory Statement that consultation with the Solicitor-General had in fact taken place.

Will the Attorney-General today correct the record and admit that he never consulted the Solicitor-General in relation to the changes to the Legal Services Directions?
