          <by role="member" id="605">The Hon. R.I. LUCAS (Treasurer) (15:26):</by>  Mr President, I won't go down that particular path, as delicious as that interjection might have been in relation to the Hon. Mr Wortley saying he couldn't trust himself to read his own reports. I don't know why the Hon. Mr Wortley was unable to get a copy of the royal commission report. It was certainly publicly available. If it pleases the member, I will see whether there is not a spare copy somewhere. If we do find a spare copy and give it to him, I will be asking questions afterwards of the honourable member just to make sure he did read it.</text>
