          <by role="member" id="2742">The Hon. J.M.A. LENSINK (Minister for Human Services) (15:10):</by>  My chief executive told me that she had had a discussion. I can't recall exactly when it was but it was certainly well before the item went to air on Sunday. She keeps me very well briefed on anything that she thinks might be of particular interest, and my view is that I knew her version of the events well before it was aired publicly.</text>
