Senator BRANDIS (Queensland—Deputy Leader of the Government in the Senate, Vice-President of the Executive Council, Minister for Arts and Attorney-General) (14:31): Senator Whish-Wilson, I should not have to point out to you, but obviously I do, that dispute resolution mechanisms are a commonplace and indeed a necessary element of any trade treaty. As Senator Abetz pointed out in his answer to Senator Wong's question earlier in question time ISDS provisions have been a commonplace feature of Australia's trade agreements— Senator Whish-Wilson interjecting— The PRESIDENT: Senator Whish-Wilson, you have asked your question. Senator BRANDIS: for some 25 years. The ISDS provisions, which, when the text of the treaty is released, no doubt you will be at liberty to consider, are a commonplace feature of any sound trade agreement and a commonplace feature of all of the trade agreements into which Australia has entered.
