Senator DODSON (Western Australia) (14:46): My question is to the Attorney-General, Senator Brandis. I refer to the reports that the Attorney-General's Queensland Liberal National Party colleagues are actively discussing his replacement. Is the Attorney-General involved in discussions about his own replacement and, if he is not, is he aware that they are taking place around him? The PRESIDENT: Senator Cormann, a point of order? Senator Cormann: Yes, I have a point of order. With the greatest spirit of cooperation, I struggle to find how this relates to the minister's portfolio responsibilities. The PRESIDENT: Senator Wong, a point of order? Senator Wong: I would have thought that the Attorney-General's job is relevant to his responsibilities. The PRESIDENT: What I need to determine is if there are any public statements made by the minister that relate to the question asked by Senator Dodson. I am not in a position to make that assessment, so I will allow the Attorney-General to answer that question, if the Attorney-General wishes to answer the question.
