          <by role="member" id="3118">Mr GRIFFITHS (Goyder) (14:58):</by>  Sir, if I may have a supplementary to the minister. Does the minister accept that the regulations not actually being gazetted until today means that the majority of the approximately 700 people elected on 7 November would have made their oath of office with regulations that should not actually be in force? The legislation was passed in time for changes to be made. Do you accept responsibility?</text>
