Ms BEDFORD (Florey) (16:06): Supplementary, Deputy Speaker.

The DEPUTY SPEAKER: Supplementary, member for Florey. Are we allowing that? Time has expired. Perhaps we—

Ms BEDFORD: It's pertinent to this and, while the Attorney is seeking further information, it's part of it.

The DEPUTY SPEAKER: I will allow it, member for Florey.

Ms BEDFORD: Attorney, are you totally satisfied that you have given full regard to all the requirements of the Productivity Commission and the ACCC in this regard?

The Hon. V.A. CHAPMAN (Bragg—Deputy Premier, Attorney-General, Minister for Planning and Local Government) (16:06): In relation to the aggregation of data and the protection of the information against other commercial interests, I have no reason to indicate the separation hasn't been complied with and is adequately covered. I regularly meet with Mr Soulio, who manages this. Of course, we regularly report on the investigation or prosecution in relation to these matters and in cases, too, in which notices have been followed through. At no time has he raised with me that there has been any breach of obligation in relation to our contract with the aggregate provider, but I will certainly make that inquiry.
