My question is to the Attorney-General, Senator Brandis, who will be relieved to know that it is not about superannuation. Has the Attorney-General had any discussions with the Prime Minister, the foreign minister or any other members of cabinet regarding his possible appointment to a diplomatic position?
Stephen Parry President
Senator Bilyk, do you have a supplementary question?

I am happy to ask this question. Has the Attorney-General had any discussions with the Prime Minister or any other members of cabinet regarding his possible appointment to a judicial position?
George Brandis Queensland, Liberal Party, Attorney-General
I cannot help but be flattered, Senator Bilyk, but the answer to your question is no.

Will the Attorney-General rule out accepting a diplomatic or judicial appointment before the expiry of his current Senate term?

Senator Bilyk, I thought the day would never come when I would enjoy a question from you, but that day has come at last. Yes, I can rule that out.
