          <by role="member" id="1812">The Hon. J.W. WEATHERILL (Cheltenham—Premier) (14:22):</by>  During the report that was handed down, which contained the findings that are the subject of this present discussion—were published to us I think at about 9 this morning; I was able to read them at around about 9.30am and form a view about them at that stage. During the course of the evidence that I gave to the Ombudsman, certain matters were put to me, but they weren't matters that were put to me which necessarily were matters that were ultimately matters that were found by the royal commissioner in exercising his powers as a royal commissioner. So I've had, during the course of my evidence, some notice that there would be criticisms of the Treasurer's conduct, but it wasn't until this morning that I was able to access the precise details of that criticism.</text>
