My question is to the Attorney-General. I remind the Attorney-General of her statement on 15 June:

We aren't bringing a strike-out application; Mr Slipper is.

Given that the member for Isaacs, the Prime Minister's parliamentary secretary and Queen's Counsel, stated:

… the Commonwealth of Australia is bringing an application to the Federal Court to strike out this case …

Why did she make this brazenly false statement?
