          <by role="member" id="1804">Ms CHAPMAN (Bragg—Deputy Leader of the Opposition) (15:21):</by>  My question is to the Attorney-General. Can the Attorney-General confirm whether the Sinead O'Brien, Government Printer, South Australia—being the authority for publication of today's Auditor-General Report and conveyed to the Speaker and President by letter of 27 November and tabled here today—is the same Sinead O'Brien who has resigned from the DPC and, if she has that position, what are the terms and conditions of her employment?</text>
