During question time, the Prime Minister suggested that I was speaking an untruth in suggesting the Commonwealth had joined with Clive Palmer in the legal case against the WA government. I seek leave to table the document from the High Court of Australia, which includes a notice of intervention. The Attorney-General intervenes in support of the position of the plaintiffs, where the federal government joined with Clive Palmer and Mineralogy Pty Ltd as the first and second plaintiffs against the state of Western Australia and Christopher John Dawson as the second defendant to try to overturn decisions that the WA government had made.

Leave not granted .
