          <by role="member" id="4622">Dr CLOSE (Port Adelaide—Deputy Leader of the Opposition) (14:15):</by>  My question is to the Deputy Premier. Did the Deputy Premier background media outlets about the behaviour of the then Liberal member for Waite at a 2019 Christmas party shortly after she was made aware of it?</text>

I have made it clear to the house already that I contacted the Premier and advised him of the matter after receiving the phone call from Ms Bonaros, and that's it. He was on a media outlet, last that I heard.</text>
