My question is to the Minister representing the Attorney-General. I note that his previous answer dealt with the guidance note, not the legal services direction which I asked about. I ask again: did the Attorney-General provide the Solicitor-General with a copy of the legal services direction before he tabled it in the Senate on 4 May2016?

As I said in my earlier answer, the Attorney-General has been discussing this issue in public for many days and has answered all of these questions. As to the specifics of what the shadow Attorney-General has asked me, I will seek advice and return to the House.
