RAU (Enfield—Deputy Premier, Attorney-General, Minister for Justice Reform, Minister for Planning, Minister for Housing and Urban Development, Minister for Industrial Relations, Minister for Child Protection Reform) (15:19):</by>  I wasn't going to say this because I didn't think it was necessary, but I think given the number of questions I should make it clear that the person who brought this to my attention was in fact Mr May. He sought me out to tell me that this had happened and he wanted me to be aware of it so that I could take whatever steps I could take. I regard that as being exemplary conduct on Mr May's part because this may or may not have come to my attention in the ordinary course for a week or two. He made a point of seeking out an opportunity to meet with me personally, at fairly short notice, to personally advise me of this matter.</text>
