My question is to the Minister for Justice. When was the Minister for Justice or his office first informed of the Australian Federal Police's intention to execute a search warrant at the home of the Special Minister of State?

I do not need to be careful. Thank you the question. As is usual practice, the Australian Federal Police informed me just prior to it being executed.
