Without repeating some of the matters that have already been raised regarding what the Secretary of the Department of Finance has already said in evidence to the Senate Economics Committee, where they said they had been advised by the AFP that caution needs to be exercised in responding to questions regarding these matters. They have said in their own statement that they have been advised they should not go into the events of that time, particularly while this investigation is ongoing. What I will undertake to do for the member is to provide a response to that in writing to the House after taking further advice on these issues to ensure that I would not say anything here that might compromise any other investigation. I think that would be the responsible thing to do.
