I have already made quite clear for the public record my response to the circumstances involving Hon Shelley Archer. I have told her that she should resign from the two parliamentary committees on which she has represented the government. I removed her from the role she performed for me on the Community Development Employment Projects task force. She is now a backbench member in the upper house of the state Parliament. With respect to the other part of the question, if I want the Leader of the Opposition to be privy to every private conversation I have with members of Parliament, I will invite him to take part; otherwise, I will not.
