          <by role="member" id="4338">Mr MARSHALL (Dunstan—Leader of the Opposition) (14:24):</by>  My question is to the Premier. Did the Premier, or any member of his staff, have any discussion with the Minister for Mental Health, or her staff, in relation to the Oakden report between the time the Chief Psychiatrist completed his report and the public release?</text>

          <by role="member" id="1812">The Hon. J.W. WEATHERILL (Cheltenham—Premier) (14:24):</by>  I understand that the report was released by the minister after it had been taken to cabinet. It was during the cabinet process that obviously my staff, in supporting the Acting Premier in that role, would have become familiar with the report, but essentially the answer is no. The report was considered and responded to in the context of cabinet and then made public, and the matter was then discussed and promulgated from that point on.</text>
