My question is to Senator Brandis, the Minister representing the Minister for Justice. I refer to guidelines issued by the Australian Federal Police for search warrants, which state:

All matters where the execution of a search warrant may have politically sensitive implications (not limited to fraud) should be raised with the Minister responsible for the AFP …

When was the Minister for Justice first informed of the AFP's intention to execute a search warrant at the home of Mr Brough? Did the minister inform Mr Brough, and if so when?
