Brandis, Sen George

Senator BRANDIS (Queensland—Attorney-General, Vice-President of the Executive Council and Leader of the Government in the Senate) (14:48): Senator, just bear with me and I will find the reference in my statement to the document to which you refer. What I told the Senate and what I can repeat is that Mr Porter visited me on 3 March this year. It was in the early evening. He told me that on 2 March 2016 his office had received an email from the Western Australian State Solicitor containing a summary briefing and slide show of the history of the matter as well as copies of the exchange of letters between Dr Nahan and Mr Hockey.
