My question is to the Attorney-General, Senator Brandis. I refer the Attorney-General to the comments by the President of the Human Rights Commission, Gillian Triggs, who describes his proposed changes to the Racial Discrimination Act as 'a contrivance', 'not wise' and 'an overreach'. Why did the Attorney-General tell the Senate on Tuesday that the Human Rights Commission had welcomed his proposed changes?
