Australian Human Rights Commission president Gillian Triggs has categorically denied that she instigated any discussion of  a new job with the head of the Attorney-General's Department, Chris Moraitis, after allegations arose on Thursday that she had sought one.

Sky News political reporter Laura Jayes tweeted on Thursday afternoon that in a meeting with Mr Moraitis, the department secretary, on February 3, Professor Triggs asked if "anything could be done" for her and that a role in the "international law arena was suggested".

The tweet was then amended to say that the suggestion had come from "government sources". This claim was then repeated on David Speers' PM Agenda show on Sky.

Responding to Fairfax Media on Thursday night, Professor Triggs said she stood by her evidence given at a Senate estimates hearing on Tuesday, where she said Mr Moraitis had asked for her resignation, conveying the message that the Attorney-General had lost confidence in her and offering her a different role within the government.

"Australian Human Rights Commission president Professor Gillian Triggs categorically denies any suggestion that the issue of a job offer and resignation came at her instigation," the statement in response to the tweets said.
