RANKINE (Wright—Minister for Families and Communities, Minister for Northern Suburbs, Minister for Housing, Minister for Ageing, Minister for Disability) (15:09):</by>  No, I cannot. I understand the member for Davenport's interest in this matter. I understand that Mr Easling's lawyers have put a request to the Attorney-General to have the entire matter investigated, and I think the Attorney's officers are the appropriate people to deal with these questions.</text>
