I am aware that there is a variety of views about this in the Liberal Party, and it is one of the glories of the Liberal Party and the National Party that we are not afraid of a variety of views. I am also aware that the shadow Attorney-General, Mr Mark Dreyfus, carries the title Queen's Counsel, that the former Labor Attorney-General, former senator Gareth Evans, carries the title Queen's Counsel, and that, when both of those gentlemen were given the opportunity to change their post-nominal title to Senior Counsel, they both declined to do so.
