Brandis, Sen George

Senator BRANDIS (Queensland—Attorney-General, Vice-President of the Executive Council and Leader of the Government in the Senate) (14:57): Regrettably there have been leaks from the cabinet, I'm sorry to say, and that is a very serious matter, but on this occasion I can tell you, Senator Ketter, that certain ministers beyond those mentioned in your question, including me, I might say, were taken into the Prime Minister's confidence well in advance of the decision having been taken to cabinet. The PRESIDENT: Senator Ketter, a final supplementary question.
