Member for Waite

Dr CLOSE (Port Adelaide—Deputy Leader of the Opposition) (17:25): Mr Speaker, my question is again to you. Can you assure the house that all parliamentary staff who attended both events in December are on the list of witnesses approved by you?

The SPEAKER (17:26): That question, the way I took it, seems similar to a question that I took before, so again I am going to refer to the statement that I made to the house earlier today. I will not be commenting further publicly regarding the investigation and there are good reasons for that. Obviously, the investigation is live and I don't wish to prejudice the investigation, so again, deputy leader, I respectfully refer to my earlier remarks.
