Members, Accommodation Allowances

The Hon. E.S. BOURKE (14:43): A supplementary: can the Treasurer confirm if he looked at the travel allowance documents before or after they were tabled in the other house?

The Hon. R.I. LUCAS (Treasurer) (14:43): Well, the ones that were tabled in the other house I was unable to look at before, but I did have discussions with individual members in relation to the nature of the claims. I didn't have copies of their claims, but there is nothing wrong if they had provided them to me if they were copies of their own particular claims. But I certainly had discussions with a number of members in relation to the nature of the claims that they had made.
