          <by role="member" id="5084">Mr MALINAUSKAS (Croydon—Leader of the Opposition) (14:06):</by>  My question is to the Premier. Why did the Attorney-General not wait for the commissioner to return from overseas to deliver the news in person? What was the rush?</text>

          <by role="member" id="4338">The Hon. S.S. MARSHALL (Dunstan—Premier) (14:06):</by>  I think that once a decision is made it's better for somebody to hear it directly from the government. A decision had been made. The quickest way to convey that was over the phone because the commissioner was overseas at the time.</text>
