No. A Minister would be bound by Cabinet confidentiality. I do not believe the Senator can adduce any evidence where it might have happened to substantiate what would be an unacceptable position if Ministers were in a position to speak freely about a process that had taken place in accordance with due process at the Cabinet. I do not envisage that it would happen and neither do I envisage that any aspect of the Bill would encroach on the time-honoured doctrine of Cabinet confidentiality.
