Has the Premier and his office kept all appropriate records of meetings with the Chief Executive of the Premier's Delivery Unit? With your leave, sir, and that of the house, I will explain.</text>

        <text id="20230829a9af3a1370b04bf590000445">I meet with the PDU separately to having meetings with the CE of DPC. That is done deliberately because they have different agendas by nature.</text>
