The honourable member, I believe, knows very well that the police, the gambling regulators and AUSTRAC are the appropriate agencies to whom to report these allegations and the appropriate agencies to investigate them, invested with all of the necessary powers. The idea that those investigations would be assisted by a simultaneous parliamentary inquiry almost beggars belief. I say to the honourable member that, if he is really concerned with ensuring that these allegations are investigated, that due process is applied and that justice is done, he would confide his revelations, his communications and his information on this matter to the police and the regulators. That is his duty as a member of this parliament and as someone committed to upholding the law.
