Senator BIRMINGHAM (South Australia—Minister for Finance, Vice-President of the Executive Council and Leader of the Government in the Senate) (14:48): The allegations in question are related to an alleged criminal event dating back to 1988. The Solicitor-General—or, indeed, any other individual office holder outside of a court and its legal process—is not in a position to be able to determine the veracity of those allegations. That's what we have courts for. The PRESIDENT: Senator Gallagher, a final supplementary question?
