My question is to the Attorney-General, Senator Brandis. On 29 July 2016, when asked whether he had consulted with any Aboriginal groups about the terms of reference for the Royal Commission into the Child Protection and Youth Detention Systems of the Northern Territory, the Attorney-General stated:

As a matter of fact I did. I consulted Mick Gooda, who is the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander social justice commissioner.

Does the Attorney-General stand by this statement?
