Seven to 10 weeks ago Mr Foster
moved positions, from DG of DPC to assist in Treasury in the COVID-19 recovery.
As I recall, a press release was issued at the time that he had some medical
conditions he needed to deal with. He also
may have indicated that he had some difficulties with some of the conduct with
respect to the committee of the upper house dealing with the privileges
matter, so they are the circumstances.
