My question is to Leader of the Government in the Senate representing the Prime Minister. The Attorney-General has instituted legal proceedings against the national broadcaster, the ABC. Yesterday the Prime Minister said:
In an abundance of caution and to avoid any perception of conflicts of interests … the Attorney-General … will not perform certain functions … that may relate to the Federal Court or the ABC.
Could you please state each and every function the Prime Minister is referring to? Could you please list which roles and functions and to which minister each of these functions have been delegated to?
