Mr President, I ask a supplementary question. I refer to the Attorney-General's interview on Sky News less than 24 hours before the government's backdown, where the Attorney-General said, 'We don't need section 18C.' Can the Attorney-General confirm that he was only told the Prime Minister would roll him on the morning of the joint press conference, and is this the orthodox cabinet process the senator previously referred to?
