          <by role="member" id="4336">The Hon. L.A. VLAHOS:</by>  The most important thing that people understand in this chamber is that when you are a cabinet minister, and many of the people on that side will probably never be cabinet ministers, you have conversations with your colleagues regularly about all sorts of matters, from the weather to various things. Everyone knows this report was coming. This was a very well-known fact. I had made two ministerial statements in the parliament about that. We had been through question time about these things. Yes, we had conversations in the months leading up to and during the report's release.</text>
