          <by role="member" id="605">The Hon. R.I. LUCAS (15:08):</by>  I have a supplementary question arising out of the answer. Why is the minister refusing to answer the question as to whether or not she applied for a position as a member of the tribunal, was interviewed by a properly constituted panel, and whether or not she was rejected by that panel some two to three years ago?</text>

GAGO (Minister for Regional Development, Minister for Public Sector Management, Minister for the Status of Women, Minister for Consumer Affairs, Minister for Government Enterprises, Minister for Gambling) (15:08):</by>  That sort of process is completely out of my hands. I am not too sure when it happened; I am only taking it on the assertions of the honourable member. Goodness knows, it may not have happened at all, knowing his track record in this place. It was a process that was before my time as minister. I had nothing to do with the process. I can hardly be held accountable for the considerations and decisions of others made in a time long gone. The honourable member would need to ask those people involved.</text>
