          <by role="member" id="1810">The Hon. J.R. RAU (Enfield—Deputy Premier, Attorney-General, Minister for Planning, Minister for Industrial Relations, Minister for Business Services and Consumers) (15:03):</by>  I am not aware of any particulars about any investigation, but nor necessarily should I be. First of all, SAPOL is, I think, generally the relevant organisation for investigations of this type; secondly, if what there is of the Government Investigation Unit were involved in some matter by way of investigation, I would not necessarily be aware of that either. So, the answer is that I am not aware of any particulars about any investigation.</text>
        <text id="20131017eb295e00ae774eb280000606">That said, I don't think anybody would say that having unauthorised release of material—except for the fact that this was actually quite beneficial because it showed up the lack of policy on the other side, but aside from that—generally is good thing. It would generally be the reaction of any government that somewhere within government there would be an exploration as to what happened. That is not something that I have taken control over, nor is it anything about which I have been briefed or given any detail.</text>
