I can understand Senator Conroy's sensitivity, given that some of his factional warriors have been exposed in not the best of light by the royal commission and the evidence that has been coming out. To assert that Ms Jackson received special coaching—well, what fantastic special coaching it was; when she says afterwards, 'I was ambushed'—really, there is no credibility in Senator Conroy in any way, shape or form.

The documents show that procedural fairness was accorded, as it was to other people that have appeared before the royal commission. But I think the proof is in Ms Jackson's own statements that she felt 'ambushed'—in other words, no favours done. (Time expired)
