          <by role="member" id="1813">Mrs REDMOND (Heysen—Leader of the Opposition) (14:35):</by>  My question is to the Treasurer. Given that the so-called travel exemption for the member for Hartley's daughter was granted when the Treasurer was the Speaker, will he advise the house who actually made the decision that an exemption was available under the rules, and the decision that it was to be granted?</text>

They are officers of the parliament who are directly responsible for this. There was an email, which has been released to the media. The email is between a junior officer and his manager, and he has handwritten on the email that that manager has approved that it would be appropriate, in the case of the minister, to have her daughter as her travel companion.</text>
