I would invite the member to re-look at the transcript of the answer I gave yesterday. What I can say is that it is indeed true that on 3, 4 and 5 August an inquiry was made to my office about a matter that had been raised and dealt with in the Sutherland local court on 8 July of last year. That is correct, and that is a matter of public record. I haven't disputed that; I haven't disputed that that is a matter of public record. I said I would come back to the House and apply further on those issues on those dates. That is what I said yesterday and that is my understanding.

What I can tell that House is that, following that issue, this matter was raised by my office, both informally and directly, in relation to the employment of the person who is at the centre of this, Mr Frank Zumbo, with the member for Hughes.
