Ms JULIE BISHOP (Curtin—Minister for Foreign Affairs) (14:05): Yesterday in estimates the Secretary of the Attorney-General's Department said that no inducement was offered to Gillian Triggs and that she was not asked to resign. I have spoken to the Secretary of the Attorney-General's Department this morning and he confirmed to me that Professor Triggs was not asked to resign, that she was not offered an inducement to resign, and I would back the Secretary of the Attorney-General's Department over anyone on that side. If that is what the Secretary of the Attorney-General's Department said, then I believe the Secretary of the Attorney-General's Department. Mr Shorten: Madam Speaker, I rise on a point of order. In light of the strong endorsement by the foreign minister of the Secretary of the Attorney-General's Department. The SPEAKER: There is no point of order. Mr Shorten: I seek to table the secretary of the department's words. The SPEAKER: Is leave granted? It is already on the public record. Mr Shorten: It is indeed, Madam Speaker.
