AnswerView source ↗

I thank the honourable member for some notice of the question. (1)–(2) This internal investigation remains ongoing and has resulted in criminal charges being preferred. The matter is currently sub judice and it would be inappropriate at this time to provide details that may jeopardise the court process.
