Mr MARSHALL (Dunstan—Leader of the Opposition) (14:16): Can the minister update the house whether she knows the scope of the investigation but chooses not to tell us, or just simply doesn't know what the scope of the investigation is?

Mr Pengilly interjecting:

The SPEAKER: The member for Finniss is warned for the second and final time. Minister.

The Hon. L.A. VLAHOS (Taylor—Minister for Disabilities, Minister for Mental Health and Substance Abuse) (14:17): It is not my role as the minister to direct—

Mr Marshall: Do you know, was the question. Do you know what the scope of the investigation is?

The Hon. T.R. Kenyon interjecting:

The SPEAKER: The leader is warned, and so is the member for Newland.

The Hon. L.A. VLAHOS: Thank you, Mr Speaker. As I have stated previously today, human resources matters lie within the purview of the CE of the department. It is not for me to intervene in HR matters on a day-to-day basis; it would be inappropriate.

Members interjecting:

The SPEAKER: The member for Kavel is warned.
