My question is to the Minister for Foreign Affairs representing the Attorney-General, and I refer to her earlier answer: what is the difference between a specific role and a job offer?

Ms Julie Bishop Curtin, Liberal Party, Minister for Foreign Affairs

There is a world of difference. It depends who raised the issue of the role, and no specific job offer was made.
