Senator BRANDIS (Queensland—Attorney-General, Vice-President of the Executive Council and Leader of the Government in the Senate) (14:08): I can confirm the accuracy of what I said to the Senate after question time, having heard some observations that fell from—I can't remember which opposition senators now— Senator Farrell: Me. Senator BRANDIS: Was it you, was it? I went to the trouble of telephoning Senator Parry and putting to him specifically what had been said against him based on a misreading of an article published by Michelle Grattan in The Conversation, and Senator Parry told me and authorised me to convey to the Senate that he had never spoken to Michelle Grattan and that he had never used the words attributed to him. The PRESIDENT: Senator Farrell, a supplementary question.
