Senator WATT (Queensland—Minister for Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry and Minister for Emergency Management) (14:00): Senator Scarr, when you asked questions about this the other day, I made the point that I am surprised that nearly two weeks after this whole alleged scandal started the opposition, including you, continue to ask questions that are predicated on court documents that were leaked to the media and were only available to a very small number of people. I saw the reporting on these court documents in the Australian when it was first reported, and I remember it saying that the documents were held by a very small number of people. A couple of names were given, and I am not going repeat those names here. But a couple of names were given in that article as to people who had access to that documentation. It also said that the government, as in the Albanese government, had access to the documentation. I fail to see how it was in the interest of the Albanese government to leak to the media private court documents that are now being pursued by the opposition. Honourable senators interjecting— The PRESIDENT: Order! Minister, please resume your seat. Senator Scarr, on a point of order? Senator Scarr: Relevance, Madam President. There was nothing in the question dealing with court documents. It is about the settlement. There is no reference to any court document. The settlement is in the public domain. Honourable senators interjecting— The PRESIDENT: Order! The minister is being relevant to the first part of your question, and I am happy to draw him to the second part of your question. Senator WATT: Senator Scarr 's defence is that court documents are in the public domain. I wonder how that happened. The settlement was in the public domain. I have also seen all sorts of speculation by members of the opposition as to the quantum of that settlement, which has never been revealed. Do you know why? It is confidential because settlements between parties in a mediation, as you well know, Senator Scarr, are confidential. And, despite your legal experience and the legal experience of the shadow Attorney-General, you continue to come into this chamber and ask questions about a settlement that is confidential between parties. You should know that, and you should know better than that. Honourable senators interjecting— The PRESIDENT: Minister Watt, please resume your seat. I am not going to constantly, moment after moment, call for order in this chamber. If I call for order, I want senators to come to order, not continue to call out across the chamber. It is incredibly disorderly. Senator O'Sullivan. Senator O'Sullivan: Point of order, President: if you could just ask the minister to refer through you, Chair. The PRESIDENT: I remind all senators, and I will remind the minister, to direct his answers to the chair, and that goes for all senators in this place. Senator WATT: As I said the other day when I answered questions from Scarr about this point, and as we have said consistently—as Senator Gallagher has said consistently and others have as well—the claim that we are talking about from an alleged rape victim that is the subject of these questions was managed consistently with the Commonwealth's obligation under the Legal Services Direction 2017. I am shocked that the opposition continue to ask questions about this matter, but I guess we cannot expect any better. The PRESIDENT: Senator Scarr, first supplementary?
