          <by role="member" id="1804">The Hon. V.A. CHAPMAN (Bragg—Deputy Premier, Attorney-General, Minister for Planning and Local Government) (15:06):</by>  There is no suggestion whatsoever, to be absolutely clear, that there is anything improper about the tender. I have had discussions with the commissioner, who has the responsibility to implement this legislation now, including the drafting of regulations necessary once the machinery of the successful tenderer is in place, to initiate the receiving of the mandatory data, to place it online and to refer back to the commissioner if there is any breach of that so that he may make a determination as the independent commissioner as to any prosecution in relation to that legislation.</text>
        <page num="2628" />
        <text id="2020092270d6bff22e2f43cf90000697">That is entirely his responsibility. He has kept me informed as to the progress of the actual implementation of that. He has reconfirmed to me the importance, particularly in light of the criticism of the Labor government's nominee in Queensland having come under some criticism in this debate, of having an open tender. That's precisely what he is undertaking. He has reported to me that that is on track, and we are expecting to have a finalised position before Christmas.</text>
