The Hon. C. BONAROS (15:17): Supplementary: who exactly decides what information is, as the Treasurer says, and I quote, 'useful' or not useful in this area to members of the public and to members of this place?

The Hon. R.I. LUCAS (Treasurer) (15:17): If the member is referring to the question yesterday, I made it quite clear that if I determined there was anything useful I could add that was my decision, so I think that's pretty clear. But in relation to the question today, which is in relation to the specific terms of reference the commissioner is undertaking, that's not something that I have direct knowledge of.

The only one who would usefully add anything in addition to that I assume would be the commissioner, so that's why I undertook, being the open and transparent government we are, to seek the information via the Attorney's office from the commissioner, who is obviously considering this particular issue. To answer the honourable member's question directly, he would be the one who could usefully add something in addition to what might be publicly available.

In relation to my questions yesterday and what I have said publicly, I can assure the honourable member that her staff have not worked assiduously enough if they haven't seen publicly reported comments from me, because I have made comments to the media as a follow-up to the earlier questions and statements I have made not only in this house but also on the public record—part of the public record.

In relation to the second part, it's the commissioner who would make the decision as to what usefully can be added. In relation to the first part, where I indicated yesterday that if I could find anything useful in addition to add that I hadn't already indicated, that's a judgement call for me.
