          <by role="member" id="3124">Mr PISONI (Unley) (14:52):</by>  I have a supplementary question, Madam Speaker. Given that I did not raise it in this place, is it the case that the minister is advised of who is in contact with Mr Debelle in relation to his inquiry and, if so, how is the inquiry independent?</text>

          <by role="member" id="3127">The Hon. G. PORTOLESI (Hartley—Minister for Education and Child Development) (14:52):</by>  That is a most improper suggestion on the part of the member for Unley. I think the member is suggesting that the manner in which Mr Debelle is conducting the inquiry is not independent or is somehow being influenced by me. That is entirely improper and entirely untrue.</text>
