My question is to the Minister the Foreign Affairs, representing the Attorney-General. Yesterday, the Deputy Secretary of the Attorney-General's Department, Mr Tony Sheehan, told the Senate that the Attorney-General's Department contacted the office of the Attorney-General by email at 1:54 pm on Monday 1 June 'to describe the handling of the Monis correspondence'. Why then did it take the government four more days to correct the false information given by the foreign minister to the parliament?
