The minister assured me yesterday that he had done nothing wrong. He also assured me that he would give a full account to, and cooperate fully with, the CCC inquiry next week, when he is due to appear. I think that it would be completely inappropriate for me to canvass opinions in this chamber about the evidence that has been given so far. We would run the risk of prejudicing the inquiry and, member for Nedlands, I do not intend to do that. Mr C.J. Barnett : Do you have confidence in him? Answer the question. Mr A.J. CARPENTER : I did answer the question.
