Penny Wong (SA, Australian Labor Party, Leader of the Opposition in the Senate) Share this | Hansard source

My question is to the Attorney-General. I refer to the Attorney-General's statement to the Senate earlier today, in which he said, in part:

… one of the options I considered … was that the ATO should not intervene in the proceedings.

Did the Attorney-General discuss his view with anyone other than Mr Mills and Ms O'Dwyer? If so, who? Did the Attorney-General provide to the Solicitor-General, the Australian Government Solicitor or the ATO any instructions consistent with this view?
