          <by role="member" id="605">The Hon. R.I. LUCAS (15:08):</by>  I have a supplementary question arising out of that answer. Is the minister saying that none of the officers from his ministerial office had any contact with former senator Chris Schacht, either, prior to the decision announced on 12 February?</text>
