Senator PAYNE (New South Wales—Minister for Human Services) (14:20): I think I have advised the Senate before that there have been in the order of 1,000 consultations in the process towards the TPP. But, in relation to the implications for ISDS and domestic judicial matters, it is possible, I believe, that an ISDS tribunal could examine the same facts and circumstances as a domestic court. However, it does not mean that the ISDS tribunal is accepting or rejecting a domestic court's decision on a question of domestic law. What the tribunal is assessing is whether there has been a breach of an investment commitment made by the government. I do not have any further information— Senator Whish-Wilson: I raise a point of order, Mr President. I simply asked the minister to advise the Senate whether the government is seeking the judiciary's input. Chief Justice French was specifically relating his comments towards Philip Morris suing our government for plain packaging of tobacco. The PRESIDENT: Thank you, Senator Whish-Wilson. I will remind the minister of the question. Minister, you have 18 seconds in which to answer the question. Senator PAYNE: I believe that I was being directly relevant in relation to whether or not the decisions by domestic courts, which, of course, His Honour would have a significant interest in, were in any way influenced or impacted by the operation of an ISDS. But if it is appropriate, I will take the further question on notice. (Time expired)
