Thank you, Minister, for that answer. What then of someone ringing up their member of parliament? That could be every bit as important, and just as relevant, as the case of a journalist. Let's say someone rings me up or rings you up and reports wrongdoing. You or I would stand up in the chamber on the next sitting day and take the opportunity that this place provides to ventilate those concerns. Shouldn't that source be protected in the same way as journalists' sources would be given protection?
