My question is to the Prime Minister and is regarding the Gaetjens review. Last Thursday journalist Laura Tingle reported:

… there are suggestions that there are quite a lot of lawyers involved now with staff wanting to make sure that their positions are protected in whatever they say to the Gaetjens review …

Can the Prime Minister confirm that his staff have now engaged lawyers in response to the Gaetjens inquiry?

I'm going to rule on that. That's not something that any minister or Prime Minister would have knowledge of. It's not within the knowledge and, in this case, not the responsibility of the Prime Minister. I will go to the next question.
