          <by role="member" id="4844">Mr BELL (Mount Gambier) (15:37):</by>  Because this matter is before the courts, I will be making no further comment on this question or any other question. I find it a little bit distressing, the level that this member will go to paint me in a bad light, knowing full well that we have just had the Attorney-General talk about issues before the court not receiving airplay or commentary in this place. As I stated in my personal explanation, I deny any dishonesty, I deny any wrongdoing and, because this matter is before the courts, I will not be answering any questions related to it. I would ask the member, who has been a minister, to show the same respect that I would show her if she were in such a situation.</text>
