MAHER (Minister for Aboriginal Affairs, Attorney-General, Minister for Industrial Relations and Public Sector) (14:43):</by>  I thank the honourable member for her question. I am aware that there have been some circumstances in the past where cabinet confidentiality has been waived either for decisions sent to cabinet or, on very rare occasions, for whole documents, so it certainly can happen, but I am not aware that this is done as a matter of course on every occasion.</text>
