My question is to the Minister representing the Attorney-General. On 12 June 2023, Senator Watt, representing the Attorney-General, told the Senate that then justice Brereton would resign his appointment as Assistant Inspector-General of the ADF 'before taking up his role as the commissioner of the NACC'. On 5 June 2025 the NACC CEO told a Senate committee that Commissioner Brereton had resigned his appointment with the IGADF in or about May 2023. However, on 3 December 2025, the actual IGADF, James Gaynor, in an answer on notice to another Senate committee, said Major General Brereton never provided written confirmation of their May 2023 conversation in which he stated he would resign as an assistant IGADF, effective 1 July 2023. So, Minister, has Commissioner Brereton resigned as an assistant IGADF, and, if so, when and how?
