Ms CHAPMAN: Thank you, Mr Speaker. My question is to the Attorney-General. Why have the responses to the dirty tricks postcards not been provided to the Leader of the Opposition? On 28 October 2009, the Attorney-General in this house stated:

I am sure that the Australian Labor Party will be willing to share the responses with the Leader of the Opposition.
