Mr Speaker, I have a question to you under standing order 105(b) regarding a question that was asked to the Minister for Employment and Workplace Relations about the legal costs of his department. Could you write to him and ask why he has failed to answer this question from me, even though it is nearly six months outstanding, particularly when 12 of the minister’s colleagues have been able to answer the same question and as yet we do not have the final details from the Minister for Employment and Workplace Relations?

I thank the member for Gellibrand, and I will follow up her request.
