Dr CLOSE (Port Adelaide—Deputy Leader of the Opposition) (17:14): My question is to you, sir. Can the Speaker assure the house that all the attendees of the function at Parliament House on Friday 13 December will be contacted by the private investigator?

The SPEAKER (17:14): That is a question that definitely goes to the heart of the investigation. Today, in this house, in this chamber, I have made a statement whereby I pointed out that the investigation is live and I do not wish to prejudice the investigation.

Mr Malinauskas interjecting:

The SPEAKER: Yes, I am going to caution the leader. This cannot continue. You may not like the answers, but I am answering.

The Hon. D.G. Pisoni: You're a bully!

The SPEAKER: Minister for Innovation, you are warned. If this continues, members will be leaving the chamber. I have nothing further to add. Does the deputy leader have another question?
