Brandis, Sen George

Senator BRANDIS (Queensland—Attorney-General, Vice-President of the Executive Council and Leader of the Government in the Senate) (14:48): I might have thought that there might be more serious matters to ask about than political gossip but, in any event, Senator Dodson, I have not the faintest idea what you are talking about. The PRESIDENT: Senator Dodson, before you ask your supplementary question, just bear in mind that it must relate to the minister's portfolio responsibilities or statements that the minister has made in public.
