          <by role="member" id="1821">The Hon. G.E. GAGO:</by>  She has not. She has confirmed that she has not. The Hon. John Darley has not raised this issue before with me. Has he? No, he has not. Has anyone else in this chamber raised this issue with me? No, they have not. There is not one person in this place that has bothered to write to me or pick up a phone. I am here day in, day out, and not one has raised this with me. So, I am saying that I am not aware. I do not know what the nature of the complaint is, if there is any, and I am absolutely confident that if there was a complaint that was made by the Hon. Ann Bressington that she would pursue that complaint to have the appropriate redress that would be appropriate in the circumstances. Given I have no knowledge of what the issue was or what the alleged complaint is, I would leave it in the hands of the Hon. Ann Bressington to pursue that.</text>
