          <by role="member" id="1804">Ms CHAPMAN (Bragg—Deputy Leader of the Opposition) (14:17):</by>  Supplementary: the Attorney-General's response indicates that there is nothing on the face of it in respect of Mr Russell's involvement in the dismissal, as he has outlined, but I am asking about the appointment. Is anyone assessing whether he has complied with those guidelines for the purposes of the appointment, not the dismissal?</text>
