          <by role="member" id="2742">The Hon. J.M.A. LENSINK:</by>  The Department of Human Services has had numerous contacts with SAPOL, the Quality and Safeguards Commission, and I have had numerous conversations with the federal minister. I have had a Zoom meeting or a Teams meeting or whatever it is with the Quality and Safeguards Commission. There have been a number of occasions when there have been matters which are concerns raised, conversations, passing of information. That would be a very large task to try to compile all that, and I think it would be an unnecessary diversion, particularly for the department to try to identify every single conversation.</text>
        <text id="2020072234837aa32df64221a0000489">I mean, does he really expect us to go through every telephone record, from my phone, from my chief of staff's phone, from my advisers, from people in the department and the number of hours where they may have been on a particular line of investigation? Indeed, that may well even prejudice the inquiry because some of these matters go directly to the issues that are under police investigation and under the investigation of the Quality and Safeguards Commission.</text>
