          <by role="member" id="633">The Hon. A. KOUTSANTONIS (West Torrens) (15:05):</by>  My question is to the Attorney-General. Given the police commissioner's public statements this morning, would the Attorney-General now table a copy of any written authorisation by the ICAC commissioner, the Hon. Bruce Lander QC, enabling or authorising the Attorney-General to make public statements in relation to an ICAC investigation of Renewal SA executives on 27 September 2018?</text>
