She should know the answers and they didn't hound her.
That part was all voluntary, not under pressure.
She is so partisan, has been since 2001 when she criticised the war and 2003 when she said Howard should be tried for war crimes !
ie She hates the LNP

Shamelessly copied from a post by myoclonjerk on another thread.
Thanks myoclonjerk
Between 2000 and 2007 (the period which includes the introduction of the “Pacific Solution" for asylum seekers travelling by boat under the Coalition government), the database documents 746 reported deaths of asylum seekers. Of those, 363 asylum seekers died at sea while on their way to Australia. As well, 350 were presumed dead (their status is missing at sea with status yunknown); 22 died in detention (the majority of those cases were suicide, but there were some deaths of natural causes); and 11 people were returned to Afghanistan and reportedly murdered for being “Australian spies"
Between 2008 and July 2013 (under Labor), 877 asylum seekers have reportedly died. Of those, 15 committed suicide or died of natural causes in detention centres.
So during this period of Labor Governement, approximately 862 individuals died trying to reach Australia's mainland to seek asylum.
During the 2000-2007 period of Coalition government, 363 died, with the status of additional 350 individuals unknown.

What are you talking about?
Anyone who has seen her give evidence has to know she was hounded.
She has every right to take questions on notice.
At the recent hearing she answered every version of the same question over and over with consistency and evidence to back up her statements.
If you're going to accuse her of making a recommendation that Howard should be tried for war crimes back it up with some sort of proof.

Suggested might be a better word and could be charged by the ICC.
The ICC, Another thing we should never have signed up for.
We don't need it, we have a perfectly good system here.

IF she was hounded, well maybe she is coping exactly what Gov't minister and Others (non elected people)
cop from the likes of that useless SHY.
SHY has the audacity to hound others then complain when she perceives one of her own is hounded.
Hypocrisy !

Thank goodness Brandis was censured for lying about Gillian Triggs.
Of course Abbott defends him.

That's just rubbish.
You clearly haven't watched the recording, which a blind person could see was hounding.

Censured means nothing, they can't do nothing and Brandis will wear it as a badge of honour !
Sarah Two Dads should have been censured for some of her performances in the past,
but all she was made to do was apologise !
Glee
I have watched it, thanks.
That's not hounding, she should be able to take questioning like that, after all, everyone else does in those committees,
WHAT MAKES HER ANY DIFFERENT ?

Proof or it didn't happen.
