          <by role="member" id="605">The Hon. R.I. LUCAS (Treasurer) (14:23):</by>  I have very high standards. I am always prepared to admit if I am in error or if I am fallible. I have never claimed to be infallible. But as I said, my recollection is that my office had a media inquiry on this very same issue some time ago. My recollection of the advice that I received and I conveyed publicly to the media was as I have just recounted.</text>
