          <by role="member" id="4338">Mr MARSHALL (Dunstan—Leader of the Opposition) (14:46):</by>  Can the minister give an explanation to the house about this abundance of caution? Can she provide any explanation as to why she cannot give us details—not specific individual person-by-person details, but details of what is the differentiation between the 25 where staff were stood aside versus the 77 where high concerns still remain?</text>

RANKINE:</by>  Sir, it is impossible for me to even attempt to answer a question when the Leader of the Opposition continues to shout at me across the chamber. These are serious issues that have been raised through a desktop audit of the employment process that was undertaken in relation to 102 people and also looking at their employment history. We have acted on that; 25 were considered that we should ask them not to present to work until we can go through a further process of assessment. This is an important part of the process and I stress again that this is an audit that we implemented.</text>
