          <by role="member" id="633">The Hon. A. KOUTSANTONIS (West Torrens) (15:02):</by>  My question is to the Attorney-General. Has the Attorney-General ever received written or verbal authority from the ICAC commissioner, or the Hon. Bruce Lander QC, authorising the Attorney-General to issue a public statement in relation to an ICAC investigation into Renewal SA?</text>
