          <by role="member" id="2742">The Hon. J.M.A. LENSINK (Minister for Human Services) (14:34):</by>  I thank the honourable member for her questions. There has been one matter which the planning minister has delegated to me, which related to a Burnside DPA. She has already responded to questions publicly about this matter in that, as a resident of the City of Burnside, she believed she had a conflict of interest in relation to that matter. I received advice from the department and, on that basis and having read the file, I made a decision.</text>
