Senator BRANDIS (Queensland—Attorney-General, Vice-President of the Executive Council and Leader of the Government in the Senate) (14:54): After having been advised by Mr Keenan after— Senator Wong: Now it comes out. Senator BRANDIS: I was not asked about Mr Keenan's advice after the warrant had been executed. I was asked whether I had— Senator Wong interjecting— The PRESIDENT: Pause the clock. A point of order, Senator Macdonald? Senator Ian Macdonald: Mr President, I am sitting not two metres from the Attorney, and I cannot hear him because of the constant yelling by Senator Wong, the Leader of the Opposition in the Senate. You have warned her several times. She asks a question, turns her back and yells at her backbench when she has asked a question of the minister. Senator Cameron: You are such a hypocrite! Opposition senators interjecting— The PRESIDENT: Thank you, Senator Macdonald. Order on my left! Senator Bernardi: Mr President, I rise on a point of order. Senator Cameron used most unparliamentary words in abuse of Senator Macdonald, and I ask him to withdraw. The PRESIDENT: Senator Cameron, in the noise of the chamber I did not hear anything you may have said. If you did say anything inappropriate, I would ask you to withdraw. Senator Cameron: I do not think—just for a full explanation—calling Senator Macdonald a hypocrite is anything but the truth. The PRESIDENT: No; you cannot say that, Senator Cameron. You will have to withdraw that. Senator Cameron: I withdraw. The PRESIDENT: Thank you, Senator Cameron. Attorney-General, you have the call. Senator BRANDIS: Let me read onto the record of the Senate what Mr Keenan did say, so that the gravity and seriousness of Senator Wong's misrepresentation of what he said can be apparent: 'Thank you very much, Mr Speaker—' The PRESIDENT: Pause the clock. A point of order, Senator Wong? Senator Wong: Mr President, the point of order is direct relevance. Senator Kim Carr interjecting— The PRESIDENT: Senator Carr, I cannot hear your leader. Senator Wong: I asked about the discussions the Attorney-General had in relation to the search warrant on the home of Mr Brough. That is what I asked about. With respect, Mr President, if he wants to make this contribution post question time, he is welcome to do so. The PRESIDENT: In light of the question that has been asked of the Attorney-General—the series of three questions and the last supplementary—I will allow the Attorney-General to continue. Senator BRANDIS: So Mr Keenan said: 'Thank you very much, Mr Speaker. After the warrants were executed, as I would normally do in a matter like this, I informed the Prime Minister's chief of staff and the Attorney-General— Opposition senators interjecting— The PRESIDENT: Order on my left! Senator BRANDIS: as the cabinet minister in the portfolio.' It was after the warrants were executed. Senator Wong, you also asked me whether I had any conversations with anyone after I was informed by Mr Keenan, after the warrants had been executed. I may well have done.
