My question is to the Minister for Defence and it relates to some answers given in question time today. In an earlier answer today, the minister indicated to the Senate for the first time that in fact she met with the AFP twice—first on 1 April and the second meeting on 4 April. In relation to the meeting of 1 April, the minister asserted twice in question time today that that was a meeting which she commenced alone with the AFP but then the meeting included both her chief of staff and Ms Higgins. Does the minister stand by that answer?
