House debates Questions without Notice
Australian Human Rights Commission
Mark Dreyfus Isaacs, Australian Labor Party, Shadow Attorney General
2:32 pm
My question is to the Minister for Foreign Affairs, representing the Attorney-General. Yesterday the minister said in relation to the role the government offered the president of the Human Rights Commission:
I can advise that no such offer was made.
In fact, the secretary of the department said:
The Attorney-General wished me to point out that the government was prepared to consider a specific senior role ..
If the minister believes what the secretary said, why did she say the exact opposite to him?
