The Hon. E.S. BOURKE (14:39): Supplementary arising from the answer: can we clarify the definition of 'sending an email' when you put in the correct address, the address provided by yourself that you were not aware existed, and also the fact that when you press the send button, is everyone who sends an email with the correct address then meant to follow up with a phone call to ask whether you have received an email?

The Hon. R.I. LUCAS (Treasurer) (14:39): No, but I must say, though, that a lot of unions and others do actually send emails and then follow up with hard-copy letters.

The Hon. E.S. Bourke: You didn't request it; you asked for only an email.

The Hon. R.I. LUCAS: I am only trying to assist the honourable member and her bosses in the shoppies union. I am just saying that the practice of a number of other stakeholders is that they email and then they follow up with a hard copy letter later. That is not an uncommon practice in relation to it. I cannot provide any more advice. As I said, the PSA and any number of other unions, the AEU, have never had a problem in terms of getting emails and submissions through to me or to my office. On this particular occasion, for some bizarre combination of factors according to this particular system, this particular email was junked, and it was certainly beyond my control or indeed influence.
