Ms PLIBERSEK (Sydney—Deputy Leader of the Opposition) (14:00): My question is to the Minister representing the Attorney-General. I refer to the letter the Attorney-General received from Man Haron Monis on 9 October 2014. According to Senate testimony last night, the Attorney-General's Department knew on Monday, 1 June that the department had not provided the letter to the Martin Place siege inquiry. Given that the Attorney-General knew on Monday that both he and the Minister for Foreign Affairs had misled the parliament, why wasn't the record corrected before Thursday, 4 June? The SPEAKER: I would remind the member for Sydney that, if one wishes to say that the parliament has been misled, it requires a substantive motion. Perhaps she would like to rephrase. Mr Burke: I raise a point of order, Madam Speaker. Just to clarify: the question that was asked quotes the date on which it was realised, that being after the misleading occurred. The SPEAKER: This is argument, so it is not a point of order. Mr Burke: No, it goes to why it is not intentional and it is not being asserted as such. The SPEAKER: Well, I am sorry; I am just inviting the member for Sydney to rephrase her question. Ms PLIBERSEK: Madam Speaker, I will say that I did not say that the parliament was deliberately misled, but to assist you I will say: provided false information to the parliament.
