My answer to his question is that I sought to speak—and did speak—to the Commissioner of the New South Wales Police Force to specifically undertake my responsibilities both to this House and under the ministerial standards. I don't know who he thought I should have spoken to. I was very clear that I was going to talk to the New South Wales Police Force. In my answers to the questions yesterday I said I would speak to them. No objection was raised by the Leader of the Opposition then. Who did he think I'd speak to? The ambulance service? The fire brigade? I had to inform myself of the matter which he raised. So my answer to him is: you asked me to exercise these responsibilities; I exercised them and I have provided my answers clearly to this House in a way that was completely telegraphed. The Leader of the Opposition either wasn't listening or didn't care, or it didn't suit him.
