Why did it take six days for you to sign to the Governor the COVID-19 Emergency Response (Bail) Amendment Bill 2020, which was described as an urgent bill by the government and on request of the state controller?</text>

I will go back and check those exact dates, but that's why it was signed when it was and presented when it was.</text>
