My question is for the Attorney-General. There are reports today that the government plans to move ahead and unilaterally refer opposition MPs to the Court of Disputed Returns. To quote the Attorney-General from his speech last week:

I caution the Senate that it is a very dangerous course for this chamber or any parliamentary chamber to decide on what might be a party-line vote in the absence of clear evidence that a member of this chamber is not eligible to be here.

Attorney, what is your clear evidence or what has changed since you gave your speech last week?
