Senator DASTYARI (New South Wales) (14:55): I refer to Mr Watson who, on 8 February, told the High Court that he appeared for the Commonwealth, and I quote: 'The Commonwealth attorney has not yet made the decision to intervene.' Can the Attorney-General confirm that on 8 February, when Mr Watson appeared on the Commonwealth's behalf, the Attorney-General was already aware of the matter and was considering whether the Commonwealth should intervene?
