Senator BRANDIS (Queensland—Attorney-General, Vice-President of the Executive Council and Leader of the Government in the Senate) (14:03): That is not the case, Senator. The proposition that you've put to me is incorrect. And might I, through you, Mr President, counsel senators against treating this purely as a party political matter. It is in the interests of the parliament, and in the interests of the nation, that the meaning of section 44.1 of the Constitution be clarified. And for senators to ask questions of the kind that has just come from Senator Cameron, which can only be designed or at least have the effect of potentially damaging any argument that might be put before the High Court, is a reckless thing to do. The PRESIDENT: Senator Cameron, a final supplementary question?
