I am sure you would love to have one, but it will not happen for you, regardless. What we have seen is an ill-founded attack, when the government has done all in its power to have a full, open, transparent inquiry where anybody can be called before the inquiry, where the commissioner has full royal commission powers. He can ask for any papers to be provided.

The bottom line is that, despite the claims from the Leader of the Opposition that the case is proved, the fact is that the case has not been proved. We are waiting for fair justice, for the commissioner to bring down his report, bring down his recommendations and make his findings and not to be subject to all these allegations, smears and innuendos that we get from a whole lot of members opposite, when the reality is that the government is doing absolutely the right thing. It is clear, transparent and evident to everybody. This government means to do business, and it is doing the right thing in terms of this inquiry.
