Minister, despite repeatedly being asked basic questions of fact in this chamber over the last week, you have not been able to confirm whether you ever received TheProject interview before it was made public, whether you communicated with any other individual about the allegations before they were made public, and whether you encouraged the complainant to go to the police. Why do you refuse to be held accountable to this chamber, and why can't you answer basic factual questions about your involvement in this matter?
