(1)-(2) I have answered this question. I had a meeting with the minister yesterday and I sought two assurances. We must remember that a Corruption and Crime Commission investigation is under way. I sought the two assurances from the minister that I outlined before. The first was that he had done nothing wrong. The second assurance was that he would fully cooperate with the inquiry. The minister will attend the inquiry next week, give evidence and answer questions.
