My question is to the Attorney-General, Senator Brandis. I refer to the personal coaching received by Ms Jackson from the royal commission's legal team. I also refer to rule 24 of the Law Council's Australian solicitors' conduct rules which states that solicitors must not 'coach a witness by advising what answers the witness should give to questions which might be asked'. How is providing Ms Jackson with advice on the content of a question or brief at an upcoming hearing consistent with this rule?
