Mark Dreyfus (Isaacs, Australian Labor Party, Shadow Attorney General) Share this | Hansard source

My question is to the Special Minister of State. I refer to the minister's statements in the house. Channel 9's 60 Minutes has released the full transcript and vision of the ministers interview:

Hayes: Um why then also did you um assist, seek well, did you ask James Ashby to procure um copies of Peter Slipper's diary for you?

Brough: Yes, I did.

Isn't it clear that there was only one question to answer? What part of the question does the minister maintain he was answering when he said, 'Yes, I did'?
