George Brandis (Queensland, Liberal Party, Shadow Attorney-General) Share this | Hansard source

My question is addressed to the Minister representing the Attorney-General, Senator Ludwig. Is the minister aware of reports that the convicted terrorist, David Hicks, has entered into an agreement with Random House for the publication of a memoir, Guantanamo: My Journey? What steps has the government taken either under clause 2d of the plea agreement between Hicks and the United States of America, by which Hicks assigned to the Australian government any profits which he might make from the publication of such a memoir, or under section 152 of the Proceeds of Crime Act, to recover those profits from Hicks?
