My question is to the Attorney-General. I refer to the Attorney-General's previous answer. Did he seek advice from his department or agencies or not?

The phone call was very brief. The description of it by the Prime Minister was completely accurate. The description of it by the police commissioner was completely accurate. It was not the sort of phone call, because it was so basic and simple, that required any advice to be sought or given.
