It was a SLAPP writ. It was entirely successful; it went, through your reference and your advice, to the committee. Senator Abetz has called this a 'legal folly', but let me warn every other member of the chamber that the opportunity comes here for people to move against each other on completely concocted charges, as we saw here, and then leave the senators with that impost. It is a complete breakdown of natural justice.
