I refer to the Premier’s midnight telephone call of 6 June 2002 between him and the Attorney General about the Lewandowski affidavit. Did the Premier agree with the Attorney General that he should advise the former Minister for Health of the existence of this affidavit and that he should ultimately pass it on to him? Dr G.I. GALLOP

I think I am ageing. It is somewhat difficult to remember the precise details of a midnight phone call. Several members interjected. The SPEAKER : Order, members! Dr G.I. GALLOP : As I recall, the Attorney General indicated to me that new information had come forward and he indicated that he would make the matter public. He did not indicate to me that he was going to pass on the affidavit to the member for Yokine. I think I answered this question in detail in the Parliament at an earlier time.
