Brandis, Sen George

Senator BRANDIS (Queensland—Attorney-General, Vice-President of the Executive Council and Leader of the Government in the Senate) (14:53): Senator Siewert—through you, Mr President—I do not doubt that for a moment. You would not be saying that unless you had heard that anecdotal evidence. That is not something that I have been advised, I must say, and I had a meeting with the President of the AAT as recently as last Friday afternoon. He did not raise the matter with me. But, nevertheless, I think the best thing for me to do is to find the specific numbers about which you asked, and the numbers will tell their own story.
