I am aware that Mr Kmet has supplied a supplementary statement. That is part of the subject of the inquiry which is being undertaken by the Secretary of the Department of Human Services, Ms Williams. She is conducting that inquiry, as I advised the Senate the other day. I await that report, which I hope I will have very soon. I anticipate that. I am not going to pre-empt any outcome; I think it would be unwise to pre-empt that. That is a proper course of action to take in view of the circumstances. I took questions on notice, and I have done that. I have the matter being dealt with by the secretary of the department.
