          <by role="member" id="4840">The SPEAKER (14:47):</by>  I thank the deputy leader for her question. I have now made a public advice to the media on 17 January. I made what I thought was quite a comprehensive statement to the house and I think the matter is covered in that statement, especially from yesterday. I appreciate the question by the deputy leader but, respectfully, I don't think I have anything further to add to that statement.</text>
