          <by role="member" id="4363">The Hon. T.A. FRANKS:</by>  In a previous question time, I asked the minister about the claims that private investigators had been brought in to investigate the Department for Infrastructure and Transport leaks about spending. Following that, I raised questions with the Commissioner for Public Sector Employment. In answers to my questions, she indicated that perhaps there was a move within the public sector to look at a consolidated way of investigating public sector leaks. My question to the minister is: can he provide us any updates on such moves to investigate public sector leaks?</text>
