Members, Accommodation Allowances

The Hon. K.J. MAHER (Leader of the Opposition) (15:18): Sir, my question is to you regarding allowances and interests. Given that this matter wasn't traversed in either statement you made yesterday or today, are you able to inform the chamber if you have ever received rental income from a place that you had put as your usual place of residence for the purposes of the country members' accommodation allowance?

The PRESIDENT (15:18): I can answer that: no. The answer is no. I refer you to my statement.
