There is confusion on this because the Attorney General's office contradicted the Minister's initial opinion in this House that it would be the MIBI. The advice of the Attorney General's office has proved inaccurate because of the High Court decision. Urgency is not something, obviously, one associates with the Government's approach and accuracy is not something that we would necessarily associate with the Attorney General's office. Why did the Minister change his view? Did he object to the Attorney General's intervention? Would he apologise on behalf of the Government regarding the delay and confusion involved? Will he review his interactions and those of the Department of Transport, Tourism and Sport with the Attorney General's office regarding this debacle?
