My question is to the Minister representing the Prime Minister, Senator Brandis. Can the minister confirm that just three out of 19 cabinet ministers have been shown advice from the Solicitor-General on the constitutionality of the proposal to strip citizenship from Australian nationals? Can the minister confirm that the only ministers who have seen this advice are the Prime Minister, the Attorney-General and the immigration minister?
