There is no evidence that this contract - Several members interjected. Mr C.J. Barnett : You look like a blowfish. Mr E.S. RIPPER : The member for Cottesloe probably knows all about blowfish. I have been sidetracked. I am gobsmacked. Let me answer the question. There is no evidence that there is anything wrong with the way in which this tender process was conducted. My understanding is that it was conducted with full probity. If anyone has any suspicion that anything was done incorrectly with this project, we have the most powerful and well-resourced corruption body in the country to look into the matter. There is no body like the Corruption and Crime Commission in any other state. It has more power, more resources and more staff than any other anticorruption body in any other state. It has a budget of more than $20 million. It has a staff of more than 150. It has substantial telephone intercept capacity. If the member for Vasse thinks there is anything wrong with this contract, he should take the matter to the CCC.
