Senator BRANDIS (Queensland—Attorney-General, Vice-President of the Executive Council and Leader of the Government in the Senate) (15:01): So—through you, Mr President—Senator Watt, the Commonwealth of Australia— Senator Ian Macdonald interjecting— Senator Wong interjecting— The PRESIDENT: Order! Senator Macdonald and Senator Wong! Senator BRANDIS: The Commonwealth of Australia was not even a party to these proceedings until it intervened on 30 March 2016. These proceedings were conducted in the name of Bell Group creditor companies, funded by litigation funders, with which the Commonwealth of Australia had no involvement whatsoever and of which it had no knowledge whatsoever. Why would the Commonwealth of Australia have knowledge of litigation, initiated by private parties, to which it was not joined? The PRESIDENT: Senator Watt, a final supplementary question.
