MAHER (Leader of the Opposition) (14:23):</by>  Just for the sake of clarity, is the minister now saying he recalled meeting convicted sex offender Corey Ahlburg whilst on an overseas trip to China but that he couldn't remember that at all yesterday?</text>

          <by role="member" id="1820">The Hon. D.W. RIDGWAY (Minister for Trade, Tourism and Investment) (14:23):</by>  I have given a statement about my recollection of meeting Mr Ahlburg. For the members opposite, I only became aware of Mr Ahlburg's past sometime just prior to the election, in late 2017, when an article appeared in <term>The Advertiser</term> about him and his Luxe Haus. I am not shying away from the fact that I believe—as I said, my recollection is that Mr Ahlburg was at some of those events. It's likely that we have been guests at the same event, but I have no specific recollection of any specific interactions with Mr Ahlburg.</text>
