Will the Premier confirm that the ABC was told that the member for Yokine had sold his shares in Alinta and that his wife did not hold any at the time of the relevant cabinet decision? Dr G.I. GALLOP

That was a question for his press secretary to pass on. As I said, I discussed with the minister the nature of the managed fund that he had. Given that it was managed independently, no issue arose.
