Senator DODSON (Western Australia) (14:51): Thanks for the advice, Attorney-General, and I apologise to Minister Dutton. I do realise he is in the other House. I note, Attorney-General, that you did make comments in relation to 'very, very mediocre' performances, so my question is in relation to that. My question is: given the Attorney-General's colleagues are already planning for his replacement, is it clear that they consider his performance very, very mediocre? (Time expired) The PRESIDENT: Again, Attorney-General, I invite you to answer any part of that question you wish to answer.
