          <by role="member" id="1804">Ms CHAPMAN (Bragg—Deputy Leader of the Opposition) (14:49):</by>  Thank you, Mr Speaker. My supplementary is to the Attorney—and I thank him for his earlier answer about not being concerned about this matter. So, has the Attorney actually requested advice from the Crown Solicitor's Office on this matter of staff disclosure of this information?</text>

RAU (Enfield—Deputy Premier, Attorney-General, Minister for Planning, Minister for Industrial Relations, Minister for Business Services and Consumers) (14:49):</by>  It is my practice generally not to seek advice in a vacuum or in the abstract, and because I do not know anything in particular about anything in particular in relation to this matter I would have thought it is premature to put pen to paper to ask for advice about something that I don't know what I am asking about. So the answer is no.</text>
