My question is to the Attorney-General, Senator George Brandis. In late 2013 the government commissioned KPMG to review the performance of the Federal Court of Australia, the Family Court of Australia and the Federal Circuit Court of Australia. In 2014 the Attorney-General's Department engaged Ernst & Young to identify savings and implementation costs of reform options for the federal courts outlined in the independent review of KPMG. On 23 April 2015 the Attorney-General's Department again engaged Ernst & Young to look at further structural and funding issues in consultation with the federal courts. Neither the KPMG nor the Ernst & Young report has been publicly released for comment or consultation. In view of the ongoing serious issues facing these courts, is the Attorney-General intending to make public these reports and, if so, when?
