          <by role="member" id="2742">The Hon. J.M.A. LENSINK (Minister for Human Services) (14:42):</by>  Mr President, I have given an answer. I think the Labor Party is really on very dangerous ground on two counts: firstly, because comments obviously that are made in this place are public and may prejudice other processes and, secondly, because the Australian Labor Party in government has had a history of harbouring sexual predators. So I think they lead with their glass jaw, and they ought to just remember some of the people they have had in their own ranks who they have done absolutely nothing about.</text>
