Member for Waite

Dr CLOSE (Port Adelaide—Deputy Leader of the Opposition) (17:50): My question is again to you, sir. Can the Speaker explain why ruling out vetoing witnesses would prejudice an investigation?

Mr Cregan: It quite clearly would, quite clearly.

The SPEAKER (17:50): The member for Kavel may have something important to say, but the question was to me and not to you and you are called to order. I respectfully refer the deputy leader to my statement that I made to the house today. Is there a question on my right? Member for Colton.
