The Hon. K.J. MAHER (Leader of the Opposition) (14:36): My final supplementary, Mr President.

The PRESIDENT: I will allow you one more.

The Hon. K.J. MAHER: At any stage, either after the minister originally misled parliament or after the minister brought back an answer on notice that again misled parliament, did anyone from his office or from his department inform him that he had misled parliament, or was it only through the FOI that the secret was let out?

The Hon. S.G. WADE (Minister for Health and Wellbeing) (14:36): As I have indicated, I did not recall being briefed on 29 May. I don't believe that issue was brought to my attention before last week.

The Hon. K.J. Maher: Will the minister take that on notice and bring back an answer?

The PRESIDENT: You have other questions on the whipping list, so if you wish to raise that in a minute, you can raise it in a minute.

The Hon. K.J. Maher: Okay.

The PRESIDENT: Leader of the Opposition, sit down. Try to restrain the use of arguments, inferences, imputations and epitaphs in your supplementaries. Keep them crisp and direct. It is an important issue, and I have allowed you many supplementaries. Go to your second question.
