          <by role="member" id="605">The Hon. R.I. LUCAS (15:17):</by>  Sir, I have a supplementary question arising out of the answer. Given the minister's claim that the usual processes for the appointment in the new position were followed, is it not correct that the Chief of Staff for minister Rankine's office, one Angela Duigan, approached Mr Ian Nightingale, CEO of Mr Holloway's department, and asked them to assist in finding a job for Dr Hemmerling in the Northern Connections office?</text>
