My question is to the minister representing the Attorney-General. I refer to the letter the Attorney-General received from Man Haron Monis on 9 October, nine weeks before the Sydney siege. The Attorney-General said yesterday the letter did not contain 'any statements of support or affiliation for Islamic state'. How can this statement by the Attorney-General be justified given Monis requested information about contacting the person he referred to as 'Caliph Ibrahim, the leader of the Islamic State'?

I am advised that all proper protocols were adopted and proper practices were followed in this case.
