Would the minister accept that it would be highly irregular if the events of the first interview had been conveyed to the member for Southern River before she entered her interview? Mr PRINCE
AnswerView source ↗
No, not at all. No-one was charged. Someone was simply spoken to. There is no privity and confidentiality attached to the conversation. There is no reason on earth that the information should not be passed around. If police want to question two or more people, and do not want them to collaborate, they take them into custody. They did nothing of that nature in this case. Nothing was wrong with the handling of this matter. The member is fishing again.
