          <by role="member" id="605">The Hon. R.I. LUCAS (16:25):</by>  By way of a supplementary question, I did not realise this was reverse question time. It sounds like the minister might be a bit uncomfortable with the question. It is a simple question: all I am asking is whether this issue was raised in the ICAC report in relation to ministerial staffers. I am asking whether the minister has received advice from anybody, whether it be the ICAC, whether it be his own staff, whether it be public servants, whether it be other ministers or whether it be the police. Has he received any advice at all of any of his staff using private email accounts to transact government business?</text>

HUNTER (Minister for Sustainability, Environment and Conservation, Minister for Water and the River Murray, Minister for Aboriginal Affairs and Reconciliation) (16:26):</by>  In some situations which the honourable member just clarified in his supplementary question, I would not be at liberty to advise the chamber of that as far as I am aware. In relation to the other agencies he has listed, I do not believe so, but I will say this: this is a matter we are taking under active consideration and we will be issuing advice to all our employees on this matter very shortly.</text>
