Ms Blain is a former President of the Liberal Party of Australia (WA Division) and a present Vice President of the Liberal Party of Australia. I have contact with Ms Blain often. Ms Blain is present at many functions organised by the Liberal Party at which I have been present. From time to time I also speak to Ms Blain by telephone. Most often the nature of the contact is social, sometimes it has involved speaking generally about Liberal Party matters relevant to State or Federal politics. I do not recall speaking to Ms Blain about Ministerial matters. I do not diarise all contact that I have had with Ms Blain nor do I diarise all contact I have with other Senior Liberal Party members. Accordingly, it is beyond my power of recollection to provide dates and times when contact has occurred, precise subjects of discussion and all persons present (often at functions the persons present would run into the hundreds).
