          <by role="member" id="4338">The Hon. S.S. MARSHALL (Dunstan—Premier) (14:43):</by>  The answer to that is no. As the Deputy Premier has just outlined, there is no evidence of any investigation whatsoever. The Ombudsman made a statement this morning saying that he had conducted some inquiries following a referral of the report from the Privacy Committee, where there were no findings, and then he forwarded the matter on to the OPI for assessment. I think those opposite are trying to draw too many tenuous links that there is some type of investigation underway.</text>
