I refer the minister to comments by her colleague the Deputy Premier in this place that in regard to allegations of improper and corrupt conduct, the public interest is best served by a full, thorough and prompt investigation into such matters by the proper authorities. Will the minister follow the Deputy Premier’s advice by referring to the police the details of a serious allegation by a Labor senator of vote rigging and false information being presented to the Industrial Relations Commission, given that the minister is aware of those allegations? Mrs M.H. ROBERTS
