          <by role="member" id="2742">The Hon. J.M.A. LENSINK (Minister for Human Services) (15:16):</by>  I have made a range of inquiries both through the organisations that I am aware had known about this case and have had a number of discussions with a number of my colleagues. We have been trying to assimilate the facts about who knew what and when, and that's been very important, I think, in terms of providing as much information as we can to the authorities so that they can undertake their investigations.</text>
