The comment from the Attorney General to that point of order that was just raised against us was, and I think I'm quoting precisely, 'those in power need to abide by the law'. It is extraordinary that that is controversial, and that it does not need to be seen through the lens of interpreting specific pieces of evidence. It can't be the case that the standing orders don't allow the Attorney-General to make clear that members of the government need to obey the law.
