The Hon. K.J. MAHER (Leader of the Opposition) (14:25): Supplementary arising from the original answer that the minister gave about having had a recent conversation with Professor David David. I assume that was the conversation that he had immediately after question time yesterday, when the minister was very worried about what he might have said and whether it was accurate.

The PRESIDENT: Don't inject—

Members interjecting:

The PRESIDENT: Order! Government benches, order! Don't inject political commentary into your supplementary. Ask a simple, tight question.

The Hon. K.J. MAHER: Thank you for your guidance, Mr President. Supplementary question arising from the original answer: will the minister, who is responsible to this chamber for the conduct of his portfolios, inform the chamber of the nature of the conversation and what was said with Professor David David in his conversation after question time yesterday?

The Hon. S.G. WADE (Minister for Health and Wellbeing) (14:26): The conversation with Professor David was in particular to highlight to him that the review related specifically to the selection process and human resource principles.
