Ms CHAPMAN (Bragg—Deputy Leader of the Opposition) (14:44): My further supplementary then to the Treasurer is: can the Treasurer assure the house that the representation that's been referred to here in this ICAC report, of which you have instructed, has not been paid from the public purse?

The Hon. J.R. 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) (14:44): Again, that in exactly the same position, but—

The Hon. M.L.J. Hamilton-Smith: Be very careful what you wish for.

The SPEAKER: The Minister for Investment and Trade is called to order.

Mr Whetstone interjecting:

The SPEAKER: The member for Chaffey is warned. Deputy Premier.

The Hon. J.R. RAU: I can indicate to the Deputy Leader of the Opposition, in the hope that perhaps this course of questioning will now come to an end, the answer to her question is that there has been no public money paid.
